In February 1942, ten weeks after the bombing of Pearl Harbour, Japan attacked Darwin, dropping more bombs and sinking more ships than in Hawaii. In 1974 Cyclone Tracy flattened the capital of the Top End, as Australians call the Northern Territory (NT). Now an energy boom promises to transform Darwin yet again into what Terry Mills, the territory's chief minister and Australia's newest political leader, calls the country's gateway to Asia. Darwin, he points out, is far closer to Indonesia, across the Timor Sea, than to Canberra, Australia's capital down south. He pauses. "In more ways than distance." A former schoolteacher from outback Western Australia, Mr Mills moved to Darwin 23 years ago. He studied Bahasa, the official language of Indonesia, believing Australia's future lay north. Last month he led the conservative Country Liberal Party to power in an election that ended 11 years of Labor rule in the NT. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
