Chuck gets the real story behind one of the wildest chapters in Australian history, the 1942 bombing of Darwin, where more bombs were dropped than on Pearl Harbor, and the government kept it all under wraps. Mark Monaghan spills some jaw-dropping details: how the Tiwi Islanders warned of the attacks before radar even existed, how Australia’s first POW was captured, and why this moment mattered way more than people realize. But the past isn’t the only focus, we jump into the present too, talking critical minerals, energy, and why Darwin’s becoming a serious player in global strategy. From military moves to mining ops, this one connects the dots between history and the high-stakes future of the Northern Territory.
