Workation in Arawa: the essentials
Arawa grew up in the late 1960s as the service town for the Panguna copper mine and became the largest town on Bougainville and the capital of the region. The civil war that began in 1988 destroyed much of it, and the administration moved to Buka, although there are plans to rebuild and return. In a 2019 referendum, voters backed independence from Papua New Guinea. Aropa Airport lies about 20 km away. Expect very limited services, and plan any stay carefully in advance.
