The Koolama Incident is the dramatic true story of survival in the north Kimberley region of Western Australia after MV Koolama was attacked and bombed by three Japanese float planes in February, 1942. After the Captain beached the Koolama, 160 of the ship's company and passengers took to the lifeboats and established a camp in a remote cove. This group which included a six month-old child and injured men lived as castaways, enduring hardship, while tempers stretched to breaking point and a near mutiny. A rescue bid was made by monks from a remote Benedictine Mission, led by Aboriginal guides through 150 kilometres of harsh terrain. Others escape by lugger and seaplane. The patched up vessel was taken on to Wyndham by the Captain and a handful of men. Also includes details of the aftermath and the fate of the Koolama.
