Default Bombing of Darwin
https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/F04775/

My father was a crew member of the depot ship in Darwin harbour , HMAS Platypus , he witnessed the first raid on 19th Feb.

He told me he was in a row boat in the harbour , the ship Neptuna exploded .

Anyway he only told me bits and pieces , its the sort of thing the vets didn't discuss
