Rabaul War Cemetery

Reviewed By buka10 - Cairns, Australia

Very emotional experience. The guides from Kokopo Dive based at Rapopo Redort ensured our visit was safe. If you visit Rabaul you must see this memorial.

Rabaul (Bita Paka) War Cemetery

Reviewed By Sandi011 - Brisbane, Australia

After seeing the sites of Rabaul, we visited Bita Paka War Cemetery. It is beautifully kept with six huge rain trees, age unknown, guarding the gates and providing shade for visitors to the cemetery. What really impressed me was the overwhelming sense of peace I felt there. A memorable way to end our tour. I recommend it for those who are interested in history.

Mount Tavurvur

Reviewed By buka10 - Cairns, Australia

I knew this spot when it was paradise on earth. Now it is like hell on earth. But it is a MUST see when visiting Rabaul. The local village ladies are trying to make a living selling artifacts so if you do visit please help them by purchasing a few things. The wild fowl eggs cooked as you wait in the hot spring where fresh and tasted delicious and only K2. WOW

New Guinea Club & Rabaul Museum

Reviewed By buka10 - Cairns, Australia

Had a beer in this club 30 years ago. Now it sits almost alone in what is left of the old Rabaul. Converted to an excellent museum. You just have to visit this when in Rabaul. I hope this history can be preserved for future generations and that there is a plan to rescue the artifacts if the volcano goes up again.
