    shrine on Skull Island

    If you come to New Georgia, you absolutely must visit this small island just a short ways across the lagoon from Munda. There's a large headhunting shrine filled with the skulls of vanquished enemies from days gone by as well as a beautifully carved casket holding the skulls of local chiefs (arranged chronologically). You can also see some traditional Solomon Islands shell money. The experience is rather eerie, but really brings the traditions and history of the Solomon Islands to life. Make sure you have a good guide--there's a lot to explain and you'll want somebody else to be with you anyway!

    Please note that there is a custom fee of S$10 which must paid to the local chief before visiting Skull Island.

    For more on this small island, see my "Skull Island" travelogue.

    Just a short ways easy of Munda hidden in the jungle is a spot where American military forces during WWII abandoned some large supplies, including barges, tanks, and all manner of military relics. These rusted hulks also seem to support a substantial population of colorful spiders, so be careful you don't pick up any unwanted hitchikers!

  • Address: short ways east of Munda along the coral road
  • Directions: Ask around for guides to assist you with finding this. A local man assigned his young sons to take me there after they brought me to the landowner to whom one has to pay a custom fee to visit the site. At the time of my visit, the custom fee was S$10.

    I was able to arrange a guided rainforest walk through Agnes Lodge in Munda. This was a very educational experience as there are many plants in the forest which can cure ailments and serve various purposes that are not well-known to outsiders.
