Abstract
Razed to the ground four times in its short history, the city of Darwin, Australia, has picked itself up out of the debris to not only rebuild but grow. This story begins in 1974, when Cyclone Tracy shattered Darwin. Then it takes us back to the wild times of early settlement, explores the backstory of the White Australia policy, paints a vivid picture of the bombing of Darwin during World War II, and guides us to Australia's militarized future, led by Darwin, sitting as it does under the largest aerial defense training space in the world.
