In Darwin, many of the major museums seem to be trying to out-do each other with their sound and light presentations, interactive displays and holograms – all telling the same ‘simplified’ story about the bombing of Darwin. Interestingly, the best, most comprehensive presentation I found about the conflict was at the little museum at Batchelor – where a 57 minute dvd on the bombing of darwin was shown on a tv screen in one of the rooms. This documentary included more detail about the history of the conflict which made the Japanese decision to bomb the north of Australia much easier to understand.
