There's an ad here for the 70th anniversary of the bombing of Darwin. I lived in Darwin from 1971 to 1987. I was a young chippie and worked for the Department of Works. One job I worked on was the renovation of the old war time Power House in Armidale street Stuart Park. We had to clear out one of the storage sheds. In the shed was all the old daily log running books of the power house (the page size of these log books was about A3 size, so quite large when open), with records from before, during and after the 2nd world war. In looking through these log books and in particular the war years is showed details of air raids on Darwin, which happened more than once. I contacted the Darwin museum only to find they were not interested. We dumped all the log books, something which I've regretted doing ever since. Recorded history gone.
