Thank you for sharing, @thomasmayo23. I was taught to fish and rabbiting by my Dad too. Dad would have turned 101 today. Best wishes to you and your family this Christmas and New Year. I will be at the #BombingofDarwin Commemoration on 19 Feb 2024. Might see you on The Esplanade or in Smith St?

When Japanese aircraft attacked Darwin on 19 February 1942, AA gunner Wilbert Hudson was having a shower but rushed to his post and, balancing his Lewis gun on Tex Campbell's shoulder, hit a dive bomber "fair and square", bringing it to ground. Painting by Jeff Isaacs.
