WW2 relics

During World War II Papua New Guinea become a heavy battleground with some vicious fighting. Nowadays, the country is a tempting destination for adventurers wanting an authentic experience like no other. As a result, there are relics on land, wrecks underwater, and numerous untouched war relics littered throughout the country to discover. In the conflict for the Pacific, Papua New Guinea was turned into a major theater. In January 1942 the Japanese forces landed first at Kavieng in New Ireland, to reach Rabaul in New Britain shortly after. Rabaul become the main Japanese base along the South Pacific rim, from where an attack on Port Moresby was launched a few months later. However, Japanese success didn't last long. If you are into history, Gazelle Peninsula in East New Britain, is your destination. Looking for aircraft wreckages scattered among palm trees, or exploring tunnels and rail tracks underground are a must.
