About HMAS Bingera

HMAS Bingera was an auxiliary anti-submarine vessel of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) during the Second World War. Bingera was built by William Denny and Brothers, Dumbarton in 1935 for the Australasian United Steam Navigation Company for the Queensland coastal trade, arriving at Brisbane on 18 November 1935. Commissioned into the RAN on 5 February 1940 and was employed in patrolling the East Coast of Australia. She was present during the Japanese midget submarine raid on Sydney Harbour on 30 May-1 June 1942 and rescued 12 men on a raft from the steamer Iron Chieftain on 4 June, sunk by Japanese submarine I-24, 27 miles east of Sydney on 3 June. She was decommissioned in August 1946 and returned to her owners. Bingera was sold in February 1948 to Imperial Chemical Industries of Australia and New Zealand and renamed Taranui.
