Day 8 - Alotau, Papua New Guinea

Today we have arrived in Alotau, Papua New Guinea. We had a morning tour called 'Battle of Milne Bay'. Apparently this site was very important in the second world war, the first site where the Japanese were defeated by allied forces. Australians played a large part in this battle.

 

    

 

    

 

   

On our way back to the ship we saw this curious sign.

 

Whilst it was curious to us, clearly it is a big health concern for the local people and education about AIDS prevention is very important.
