After the bombing of Pearl Harbor on the 7th of December 1941, the imperial Japanese navy steamed south, unleashing their fire on Darwin, a city in the northern territory of Australia.
"The territory" was a land of crocodiles, cattle barons and warrior chiefs where adventure and romance was a way of life. I t was also a place where aboriginal children of mixed-race were taken by force from their families and trained for service in white society.
Thesr children became known as the stolen generations.
