Fog is a rarity in the coastal areas of the Northern Territory forming about once every eight to ten years.

So when a “peasouper” rolled across Darwin on July 2 reducing visibility to 200 metres, there was plenty to talk about.

It also allowed PONPC Bernard Matson of NORCOM to put his camera to use.

His picture shows a barely visible HMAS Wollongong standing behind HMAS Bunbury on the Darwin Naval Base maintenance hardstand.
