The Fall of New South Wales

Further expanding on its conquests in the south, the empire of Japan has seized Sydney and the Australian capital Canberra. Local defenders were forced to retreat across the Sydney Harbour Bridge to new positions on Observatory Hill, but attempts to demolish the bridge were thwarted by advancing Japanese forces, who then pushed on to take Canberra. The Japanese war flag can now be seen hanging from the Parliament House in Canberra, which serves as the headquarters of the area's new military administration, and the Kempeitai military police are maintaining a watchful eye on the streets.
