Page "Darwin, Northern Territory" Paragraph 10
from
Wikipedia
Around 10, 000 Allied troops arrived in Darwin in the early 1940s at the outset of World War II, in order to defend Australia's northern coastline.
It was the same fleet that had bombed Pearl Harbor, though a considerably larger number of bombs were dropped on Darwin than on Pearl Harbor.
These were by far the most serious attacks on Australia in time of war, in terms of fatalities and damage.
