The Bank of New South Wales in Darwin after a Japanese attack in 1942 (State Library Adelaide). Located on the corner of Smith and Bennet Streets, Darwin.
The bombing of Darwin was believed by many at the time to be the prelude to a Japanese invasion. In reality, it was aimed at eliminating the threat of an allied counter-attack against the Japanese invasion of Timor which took place the following day. The building is now occupied by theWestpac Bank (current image sourced from Google Maps).
