Berrimah, Northern Territory

Berrimah is an eastern suburb in the city of Darwin, in the Northern Territory of Australia.

[6] Leading up to the bombing of Darwin and in late 1941, action was being taken to erect quickly the 119th Australian General Hospital[7] at the camp site to be known as "Berrimah", the Army quoting the origin of the Aboriginal word "to the south".

The hospital was erected on the present day Kormilda College site and was then called "Berrimah".

The strafing of this hospital by Japanese war planes in 1942 led to its eventual removal to Adelaide River.

Not far away on the eastern side of Berrimah Road, a small cemetery reserve marked the graves of Japanese airmen who died in the earlier attempts to bomb Darwin into submission.
