Currently circulating far and wide is a series of historic photographs of the clandestine resistance radio set up in Darwin which kept in contact with East Timor after the 1975 Indonesian invasion , eventually shut down by the Australian government . Radio National has produced a special report on Radio Maubere, parts of the radio equipment now held in the National Film and Sound Archive, Canberra .
One of the photos shows the radio set in the flat of Darwin activist Rob Wesley-Smith who at one stage , with others, was arrested at gunpoint on a boat and charged with attempting to run supplies to Fretilin.
