Wars of Change Coach Tour (Aata Orn Tours)
Join the Tour
Your guide will explain the social impact when the major male component of the community joined the fighting forces and departed the island's shores for the duration of the war years. Have explained the equal impact of defence troops being posted to the island. Hear about the wartime construction of the Norfolk Island airport, the destruction of a mile long avenue of mature island pines and the loss of island homes, all to make way for the airport project. Tour some sites of the war machinery: artillery emplacements, radar stations, tented accommodation for troops and water supply facilities.
