Narration: Charlie King - a Cyclone Tracy survivor, Charlie has lived and worked in Darwin for over 40 years as a youth worker, sports broadcaster and as the founder of anti-violence campaign No More. There's barely a corner of the Northern Territory that Charlie King doesn't have a connection to. But none is stronger than Darwin. It's the place his parents met in the unlikeliest of circumstances.
