It does have a sizeable army, which has been involved in all world wars, suffering great casualties (among other, more recent wars like Afghanistan, Iraq). Sydney was attacked the same night as Newcastle and Darwin was significantly impacted by Japanese bombings in 1942 (then flattened by a cyclone thirty-odd years later… poor Darwin).

Thanks!

No worries, glad you enjoyed it.

It’s definitely not a hell-hole anymore!

It later transpired (from Commander Kanji’s released log) that the Australian Army were straight shooters and he was surprised the sub didn’t get hit… but a boat in the harbour got in the way and the sub had time to make an escape!
