Depends which bombing of Darwin you are referring to since Darwin was bombed 64 times during WW2. However, if you mean the first attack on Darwin then it occurred on the 19th of February 1942.
In WWII, the first real attack of the Japanese on an Australian base occurred with the bombing of Darwin on 19 February 1942. That attack scattered the naval base at Darwin and demoralised Australians. However, Darwin was bombed by the Japanese a total of sixty times between 19 February 1942 and 12 November 1943.For more information, see the link below.

On September 9, 1942, Mount Emily, near Brookings, became the first site in the continental United States to suffer aerial bombardment in wartime. Fifty years after the incident, the Japanese pilot, who survived the war, would return to Oregon to help dedicate a historical plaque at the exact spot where his two bombs had impacted. The elderly pilot then donated his ceremonial sword as a gesture of peace and closure of the bombing of Oregon in 1942. The Memorial Plaque is located in Brookings, Oregon at the site of the 1942 bombing.
