Lonely Planet review for Lae War Cemetery

Lae War Cemetery, just south of the Botanical Gardens, is meticulously maintained by the Australian Government. There are 2808 graves here, 2363 of which are Australian and most of the rest are Indian, New Zealand and British. An Anzac (Australian New Zealand Army Corp) Day dawn service is held here every year commemorating those who lost their lives during WWII. If the war seems rather distant and unreal, pay a visit and read some of the headstones; the tributes can be quite moving.

There are security guards and it's quite safe to visit.
