Jacquinot Bay

It is near the mountain where twenty-eight people died when a Royal Australian Air Force plane crashed in November 1945.

The area also had a Catholic Mission, headed by Father Edward Charles "Ted" Harris.

They were rescued by MV Laurabada, which then transported them to Port Moresby.

Later, the port was taken over by the Japanese, and remained in their hands until the area was liberated on 4 November 1944.
