Bombing of Darwin Commemoration
19 February 2022
It was a hot and humid morning for Coomalie’s Bombing of Darwin Service for the Commemoration of the 80th anniversary.
This year we had a very special guest, Mr Brian Winspear, the 101 year old veteran from the Bombing on the 19th of February 1942, was in attendance.
Mr Winspear was accompanied by The Chief Minister, Michael Gunner, and various Members of Parliament who came together with the community to commemorate the events 80 years ago.
Special thanks to Coomalie Shire workers for putting together the event and to Mr Dheran Young, Member for Daly, for providing morning tea.
