Rabaul is an important city in Papua New Guinea, the last of a series of islands stretching from Southeast Asia to the Pacific.
A trip to this place will allow you to discover a wild, untouched, varied and almost unknown land. Papua New Guinea is located south of the equator and north of Australia.
A land loved above all by explorers and naturalists who can indulge themselves here with almost 9000 species of rainforest plants and over 250 species of mammals.
Rabaul was the capital of the province of New West Britain until 1994, when it was destroyed by an eruption of the Tavurvur volcano.
Previously it was the headquarters of the German New Guinea until its conquest by the Commonwealth of Nations during World War I, when it became the capital of the Australian protectorate of the New Guinea Territory. On January 23, 1942 the city was conquered by Japan and became the most important base for Japanese military operations in Oceania.
