Wartime History
Emplaced at Madang, facing east overlooking Astrolabe Bay on Coronation Drive, just south of the Coastwachers Memorial.

Lori Witham adds:
"There was a violent storm around 2000, and the coral wall broke apart so that the concrete slab is now crooked and looking like it's going to fall into the ocean, but the gun is still firmly on top of the slab. The constant salt spray has rusted the gun."
