    WWII,The battle of the Coral Sea was pretty close.The bombing of Darwin by the Japanese was pretty much on our soil too!

    Darwin was the closest we came to fighting on our own soil,,in reality Australia has not really fought on it's own soil,,because of our location being so far down under..it is important to defend our country before it gets to onshore...our nearest possible enemy is Indonesia,,in the 2nd world war Indonesia chose to welcome the Japanese thinking they would set them free from the dutch,,the united nations claim 4 million people died in Indonesia as a result of famine and forced labor during the Japanese occupation ..I personally do not trust the Indonisians ...We are very vulnerable..>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<< 

    Only the war between the aborigenes and the British settlers.

    Gidday Nom, i will give you a odd story..this story comes from a cattle station in north Queensland called Musgrave Station,,...just before the 2nd world war the Japanese were using Aborigines to dive for pearls up near Darwin,,,just before they were due to head for japan they would grab as many aboriginal women as they could,just before reaching japan, they would toss them overboard...anyway the son of an aboriginal chief killed one of the Japanese over a girl,,The Australian troopers approached the chief,,The chief said,if you can find him you can take him,,Back then there was not a white alive that could track an aboriginal in the bush,,after the bombing of Darwin,the chief was approached to have some of his tribe trained to fire rifles at the Japanese,,the chief was confused,,and he said,my son killed Japanese and you hunt him,now you say you want us to kill Japanese......I can see why the Aboriginal thought the white man strange,,,,Always nice talking Nom..>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<
