Australia followed Britain into war against Germany when World War II began on 1 September 1939, but it was not until Japan bombed the US Pacific …World War II Comes to Brisbane Follow the Blog of Historian Peter Ludlow here … He knows the Moreton Bay of Brisbane very well and loves Moreton Island as much as I do. Always good to go back there for a few days and explore the history around. Like the Lighthouse Walk. Awesome … Thank you again, Peter Ludlow, sharing this with us. Best from QLD yours phb
