CargoMaster: Your Trusted Shipping Partner for Alotau’s Tropical Paradise

Experience the captivating beauty of Alotau, the capital of Milne Bay Province, nestled in the southeast of Papua New Guinea. Located on the picturesque northern shore of Milne Bay, this town falls under the jurisdiction of Alotau Urban LLG. Alotau holds a special place as the annual meeting point for ministers from both Australia and Papua New Guinea, fostering diplomatic relations. Additionally, it is steeped in history, marking the site of the Japanese army’s first land defeat in the Pacific War in 1942, preceding the renowned Kokoda Track battle. A memorial park at the former battleground stands as a solemn testament to this significant event. In 1969, Alotau took on the role of provincial capital after being relocated from Samarai.

Travelers can easily access Alotau via a road that connects Ulumani and passes by the local Gurney Airport. The airport, named in honor of Squadron Leader Charles Raymond Gurney from the Royal Australian Air Force, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the area in 1942, is located 12 kilometers away from the town. As the gateway to the Milne Bay Province, Alotau provides a starting point for exploration in this remarkable region, home to some of the world’s most remote island communities.
