Download or read book The Ghosts of Roebuck Bay written by Ian W. Shaw and published by Macmillan Publishers Aus.. This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Japanese attack on Broome is the second most deadly air raid on Australia soil in our history and yet it's almost entirely overlooked. On 3 March 1942, nine Japanese Zero planes strafed the small town planning to destroy the aerodrome and American planes. With no notice, the townsfolk could only put up minimal opposition and in an attack that lasted only an hour, almost one hundred men, women and children lost their lives. Not a single operational aircraft remained in Broome, but the shocking loss of human life can never be truly calculated. The Ghosts of Roebuck Bay tells the story of this tragedy, shining light on a story that has slipped through the cracks of history. A captivating tale of refugees and soldiers, of reputations made and lost, of survival and spirit that resonates to today.

Download or read book Broome 1910 written by John deB Norman and published by . This book was released on 1916-09-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 24 photographs in the Trotman-Norman collection have an impeccable provenance, and are a photographic record of the days in August 1910 when WH Trotman, a Fremantle engineer, was the guest of Hugh Davis Norman for the three days in Broome whilst SS Charon was loading cargo at the Mangrove Point jetty. The photographic essay begins as Charon is mooring and continues across the town "from the jetty to the jetty". Streeters jetty was at the axle for the pearling industry, the town centre at the junction of Short Street and Dampier Terrace where there was a branch line for the train. Shell sheds stretched along the Broome Creek side of the Terrace, a terrace in name only, watered twice daily to keep down the dust. There was no time to sail to Beagle Bay to inspect Robison & Norman's lay-up camp and shipyard which was the base for their 28 boats and 199 crew. This snapshot of the town in 1910 has been supplemented by other photographs of the period.
