AuthorWritten by Norman Cramp, Director of Darwin Military Museum. Leading up to the first Japanese air raids on Australian soil on 19th February 1942, the authorities thought, or knew, there would be, or was, Japanese naval activity in the vicinity of Darwin Harbour. And they thought one of main threats was from submarine attack within the harbour.

AuthorWritten by Norman Cramp, Director of Darwin Military Museum. Fire! Between 1am and 2am on Sunday 24th June 2018, fire broke out and tore through the Darwin Returned and Services League (RSL) offices and club in Cavenagh Street, Darwin. The fire took hold of the upper storey of the building with devastating effect and by the time the fire was under control and finally extinguished, the upper section of the RSL was totally destroyed.
