- Summary:
-
Like WWI, Australia's participation in WWII was expected to be overseas. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in late 1941 and Singapore fell two months later the view at home began to change. Darwin was bombed and submarine attacks were occurring off our coast and even in Sydney Harbour. Whilst the Japanese island hopped south, preparations were made to defend our coastline. This document discusses how these events impacted the NSW south coast, particularly the village of Tomerong. -- Publisher.
