Gasmata

Gasmata is a village on the southern coast of New Britain, Papua New Guinea located at 6° 16' 60S 150° 19' 60E.

The village is administered under Gasmata Rural LLG in East New Britain Province.

[1] The Imperial Japanese occupied the village between 8–9 February 1942 during World War II.

Unlike many places in Papua New Guinea, Gasmata and the southern coast of New Britain experience a rainfall maximum during the south-east monsoon (low sun season) because the New Britain mountains block the north-westerly winds during the high sun season.
