    Broome got bombed as well, the balloons Japanicon released into the jet stream caused I think only one US casualty which I from memory think was a woman investigating it.
    The Japs had the Fugu plan whilst we in Australiaicon had the Brisbane line if it was not for the 39th Militia the outcome for us may have been vastly different after all the Brits dropped us right in the sh*t when they renegged on the Singapore deal plus allot of our regular troops were in Africa leaving Australia very weak indeed, the 39th inflicted the first defeat the IJA had suffered in WWII on land.
