Photo - Submarine art
"Clandestine Submarine landing party" a painting by Tronson du Coudray“ the missionary painter - is the basis of my first Anzac reflections.
The art work was specifically painted for Anzac Day and is a portrayal of the Japanese landing party that, according to the Moruya Examiner Newspaper, silently slipped onto Australian soil near Browlee, Moruya on the south coast of New South Wales in 1942.
We lived in Moruya between 1992 and 2006. During those years the local newspaper ran the story of the alleged landing on two occasions, although it acknowledged that this event has no official recognition, only local oral history to back it up.
