Balibo Flag House

TIME : 2016/2/17 16:53:20

Commemorating the five Australian-based journalists who were killed by Indonesian Special Forces on 16 October 1975 while reporting on Indonesian's invasion of East Timor, this house in Balibo, where they stayed, also serves also as a community centre. Press play on the DVD player to watch Greg Shackleton's final, chilling broadcast. The Australian film Balibo , starring Anthony La Paglia, was based on these tragic events.

It's across the road from the Balibo Fort Hotel.
