Kavieng
Rabaul
While there are many WWII wrecks dotted around PNG, the Rabaul area undoubtedly has the most.
Situated on the eastern tip of New Britain, Rabaul is a large natural harbour that was the main naval base of the Japanese during the war. The area is also a very active volcanic region, sitting between 3 active volcanoes.
Kavieng
Kavieng is a small, friendly town on the northern tip of New Ireland - a long thin island to the east of Papua New Guinea that separates the mighty Pacific Ocean from the Bismark Sea.
This tranquil retreat was the scene of intense fighting towards the end of the Second World War between the Japanese & Allied forces.
