Vunakanau Airfield
Field where RAAF Wiraways rose to meet the overwhelming Japanese onslaught, and after Japanese occupation was a major airstrip for them.

Today, the strip is overgrown and abandoned, although the area of the runway is still clearly visible. There are the remains of some anti-aircraft guns and searchlights at one end of the field, and small bits of wreckage of one of the Wirraway fighters.
