Workation in Rabaul: the essentials
Germany made Rabaul the capital of its New Guinea colony, Japan turned it into a major base in the Second World War, and in 1994 ash from an eruption in the harbour collapsed about 80 percent of its buildings. The provincial capital then moved to Kokopo, about 20 km away, and most services are there now. What remains of the town sits on the edge of a flooded caldera on New Britain, with active volcanoes across Simpson Harbour. Divers come for the wartime wrecks. Rabaul Airport is about 30 km away, and volcanic activity remains a constant threat.
