In this episode, we talk about how 80 years ago, Queensland and the Queensland Railways found themselves thrust into a crucial role during the Defence of Australia.
When Japan entered World War II, Australia was under threat of invasion. Darwin suffered the worst bombing and heavy casualties. Fortunately, the bombs that fell on Townsville and near Mossman brought no loss of life. Until the tide turned in the Battle of the Coral Sea, invasion seemed to Queenslanders in 1942, a very real likelihood.
Our Hosts, Annette and Queensland Rail Historian, Greg Hallam, talk about how the Queensland Railways rose to the occasion and assisted in defending Australia during those dark days of the Second World War.
We also hear from Paul Slater, Manager of Heritage Assets who works on a remarkable survivor of Queensland Railways from the Second World, that is housed in the magnificent Ipswich Workshops.
