I read in a coin book that the 1942 half penny bombay mint is a very rare coin , if so , well here is it!! Any confirmation out there?

The scarcer coin for 1942 Bombay halfpennies has the "type D" or "long denticles" reverse. Most minted in 1942 use the type C "short denticles" reverse.
Here's a site which describes the differences well (near the bottom of the page). Did I cover everything, Aussie collectors?

An image of the long denticles for comparison:
