Wewak
The main town area is built on a peninsula. Beautiful views of Cape Moem and Cape Wom and the islands of Kairuri and Muschu just offshore. Highly fortified by the Japanese it is still the heart of the town today.

MV Busama
The wreckage of this ship lies to the side of the wharf and is visible just above the water line.

Wewak Tunnels & Fortifications
This peninsula was riddled with tunnels and fortifications by the Japanese. Most of these tunnels were sealed up after the war and many munitions dumped into the sea or abandoned. According to locals, rascals use some of them.

Below are a series of near panorama photos of the Wewak area, looking down from Kreer area. The left photo show Cape Wom, with the flat Muschu Island behind it and mountainous Kairuri further behind.
