Photographernot specifiedKeywordsBerowra CreekCrosslandsSecond World WarWWIIDescriptionIn 1942,with fears of a Japanese invasion at their height, Operation Berowra Boat Guard was launched. The boats of the Lower Hawkesbury were impounded and hidden at Crosslands Reserve to make it difficult for an enemy to cross the river. Unfortunately heavy rain led to flooding and the destruction of many of the boats (see Hedley Somerville, "A Bit more Ginger", pp 208-211)
