73rd anniversary of Darwin bombing marked

IT has been 73 years since the Japanese began bombing northern Australia, beginning with a raid that killed about 250 people and levelled Darwin.

THE 73rd anniversary of the Japanese bombing of Darwin during World War II will be commemorated on Thursday.

ABOUT 40 veterans from the NT and interstate will gather to remember those killed when the Japanese began to bomb Australia's northernmost city in March 1942.
