  1. Today marks the 80th anniversary of the bombing of Darwin in WW2. As 101 yr old veterans survivor Brian Winspear says "We must always remember to never forget". Yes, never forget to be grateful for their service. But also never forget how terrible war is. Of course much of the world and incredibly, even some Australians don't seem to even know about these attacks. But they all know about Pearl Harbour. Yet the attacks on Darwin were arranged by the same Japanese Commander. And more bombs were dropped on Darwin apparently. My great grandfather was stationed there during the attacks. My Nan said he didn't return home until the war had ended. But they were lucky that he did return from Darwin as many did not. Thankfully they had evacuated a lot of civilians in the months prior(as they suspected they'd be attacked), otherwise the loss of civilian life would have been high. There were subsequent attacks on Darwin, Sydney, Townsville and Western Australia over the next 20 months. A reported 230+ died on the first attacks and hundreds more injured. Though it's estimated it's probably closer to a thousand. Over 100 US soldiers also reported to have been killed. And according to Lt Winspear a further 17,00 more killed over the course of the next two years of subsequent attacks.

  2. I like the Qld plate with the palm trees. And the Tasmanian one with the Tassie tiger on it. I see a lot of personalised plate with cool or funny things in them. They can be pricey though.
