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.
