WITH February upon us already,
the planning for Bombing of
Darwin Day is well under way.
Each year we commemorate
the anniversary of the Bombing
of Darwin in 1942 with a service
at the Darwin Cenotaph.
Bring the family and join in this
special service on Wednesday,
February 19 at 9.30am.
There will be an air raid siren
sounding at 9.58am, the same
time it sounded on that fateful
day in 1942.
A flyover of military aircraft will
also take place followed by the
Catafalque party and formal
commemorative proceedings,
including a wreath-laying
ceremony.
I hope to see you there.
As part of the Bombing of
Darwin commemorations our
libraries are planning a talk with
local award-winning author Dr
Tom Lewis OAM.
He discusses the myths and
legends of the First Air Raid on
Darwin. Bookings are needed for
this event on Wednesday,
February 19 at Casuarina Library
from 5-6pm.
This Thursday at 7pm at
Nightcliff Library we have an
event featuring author Susan
Lattwein.
She will be discussing her first
novel, Arafura, which is set in
Darwin and follows school
teacher Kat as her predictable life
begins to unravel with the arrival
of the magnetic yet troubled
Adam. Book now to confirm your
place.
On Friday, February 14, join in
to celebrate Library Lovers Day.
Borrow a Dinner Date package of
a cook book and DVD and enter
our competition by sending a
picture of your special date with
loved ones.

all the information about what’s
on at our four libraries –

The wet season is really
putting on a show for us this year.
Conditions in pipes, drains and
waterways can be very unstable
and flooding can happen with
little or no warning. Please make
sure you and your families are
safe around water.
Ylang ylang is known for its wonderful fragrance and is used in many popular perfumes.
Tree is heaven scentIF YOU’RE looking for an
attractive, easy-to-grow tree with
glorious perfume, the ylang ylang
(Cananga odorata) may be the
answer for you.
It is a tall, fast-growing tree
reaching in excess of 12m that
can double as a shade tree,
particularly in areas where
protection is needed from the
harsh afternoon sun. The large,
smooth leaves are a glossy green
that looks good all year round,
and flowers several times during
the wet and dry.
The highly perfumed flowers
can be smelt over a vast area,
thus any location (in suburbia)
would be suitable to benefit from
the fragrance, which is most
intense from late afternoon to
early morning.
Given its strong, lingering
scent, your neighbours will also
be able to enjoy the pleasures of
your prized ylang ylang.
This feature tree is hardy and
grows in full or part shade and
likes acidic soils. Its origin is from
the Philippines and does well in a
humid, warm top-end climate.
The unusually shaped flowers
droop from the branches with six
narrow, green-yellow petals that
contain a highly fragrant oil. It is
this oil for which the ylang ylang
flower is most famous, leading to
its use in well-known perfumes
such as Champs Elysee by
Guerlain, Acqua De Gio by
Giorgio Armani, Poison by
Christian Dior and Chanel No. 5.
Like other plants whose essential
oils are valuable and highly
sought after, the fragrant ylang
ylang oil is also used in
aromatherapy for its calming and
relaxing effect.
This large tropical evergreen
tree, which belongs to the
Annonaceae family, is a relative
of the custard apple, sugar apple
and soursop.
The ylang ylang produces
clusters of black fruit which are a
food source for many birds, such
as pigeons and doves.
Propagation from seed will
produce flowering three to four
years later, which is a reasonable
timeframe to reap the rewards
from your home-grown efforts.
Ylang ylang can be hard to
source and is generally not an
ongoing item in local nurseries,
but you may be able to place an
order with a local outlet.
Alternatively, you can source a
young tree through online
nurseries, most likely in
Queensland.
This tree has many favourable
features that make it a great
choice for your garden. They are
aesthetically pleasing in shape,
gloss and form, they require no
pruning and look best when left
to grow in their natural shape.
The roots are non-invasive and
do not pose a threat to pipes,
paving or foundations. It is also
easy to care for.
