Darwin POW by Edward Collins (1975) is an engaging and personal account of life in Darwin shortly after Cyclone Tracy, blending humour and resilience in the face of devastation. Through witty observations and vivid storytelling, Collins captures not only the destruction caused by the cyclone but also the unique camaraderie, absurdities, and human spirit that emerged in its aftermath. Written with a light-hearted yet reflective tone, this manuscript offers a distinctive glimpse into a community rebuilding amid chaos, making it an invaluable addition to the Cyclone Tracy archive.
