LISTEN TO THE EPISODE HERE:
Corunna Downs is a 300,000 acre sheep station named for a clash of the Peninsula War, the Battle of Corunna. During World War 2 it was the location of a top secret airbase used by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and elements of the US 380th Bomb Group to strike targets in South East Asia. It was a harsh posting and at it’s peak hosted 300 personnel. (Unless specified all images courtesy of the Australian War Memorial)
