By the 1940s Darwin was still a small town but its location was important militarily.
While the Second World War had commenced in late 1939, in 1940 Darwin was yet to feel the full impact.
Victor Tarhanoff’s 16mm amateur footage is the earliest surviving colour images of Darwin. His beautiful films offer a unique insight into Darwin life before and after the Second World War.
