Rabaul Sights

  1. Admiral Yamamoto's Bunker

    There are countless tunnels and caverns in the hillsides around Rabaul. Admiral Yamamoto's Bunker (locked) is interesting although austere, and the placards near it are informative. There's a map on the ceiling for plotting world domination.

  2. New Guinea Club & Rabaul Museum

    Just next door to Admiral Yamamoto's Bunker is New Guinea Club & Rabaul Museum. Established in 1933, this club was a businessmen's club with strict guidelines for membership. It was destroyed in WWII and rebuilt in the 1950s to its former glory only to be destroyed again by fire in 1994. It has been partly restored and is now home to a small museum. Ask at the Rabaul Hotel for the key.
