History
The local people fled to nearby Shortland Island for the duration of the war. One woman refused to leave, and was killed during the war. Heavily bombed, after the war it was renamed Pirumeri.

Allan Dickes recalls in 1980:
"I was walking on the weather coast of Awa one day in 1980 when I found, mostly buried in the sand, a fairly large fragment of a sea mine casing. it was less rusted than I would have expected but unmistakable as part of a sea mine because of the detonator 'nipple'. I took it to Ghohuru but cant remember what happened to it. Incidentally, I think the usual way of disposing of a "live" mine (and who can tell?) is to call on a sharpshooter with a rifle, operating from a 'safe' distance! The customary Alu method with bombs etc. is to light a fire under 'em and run clear, rapidly."
