WWII Australian Home Front Map


Hello! Just a short blog today on material related to the Stage 5 'Australians at War' Depth Study. I was looking around for resources on Japanese attacks on Australia during WWII and couldn't really find a clear or free one that suited my purposes, so I put together the map above. 

It includes the following information:
  • Japanese air raids. 
  • Australian ships sunk.
  • Major PoW camps. 
  • PoW outbreaks.
There's also a worksheet that incorporates some questions alongside the map - download here

And a large, downloadable version of the map.

  1. Thanks for sharing this, Luke. I have been working on a map of Western Australian as we prepare to take a study tour investigating defence of the home front: https://earth.google.com/web/data=Ml8KXQpbCiExbV9pT2kyRWR0Q3hWVkVmNFFpa0NSekx4ZndzeUpGRksSNgo0YWhKemZtZDNaV0l0ZEc5MWNtSjFhV3hrWlhKeUVRc1NCRlJ2ZFhJWWdJRGdfSXY1X3dvTQ
    Have you considered mapping the northern radar network?
