Description
Arovo Island off Bougainville Island by Joan Stratton - A modern abstract view of the paradise island of Arovo, which sits just off the coast of near Arawa, Bougainville Island, North Solomon Islands. The resort was destroyed during the independence war with Papua New Guinea and the site is now overgrown by the tropical jungle. The island resort was a beautiful retreat for visitors and those who worked for Bougainville Copper Limited.
I lived and worked in Panguna township and mine, during the 1980s. I vividly remember the wonderful times spent on this beautiful Island.
Bougainville Island, is the easternmost island of Papua New Guinea (PNG), in the Solomon Sea, southwestern Pacific and located near the northern end of the chain of Solomon Islands. Panguna is a town and a (now decommissioned) copper mine on Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea. It was owned and operated by Bougainville Copper Ltd, a subsidiary of Rio Tinto. Beginning operations in 1972, the company hired thousands of workers from all over the world. By the end of its operations on May 15, 1989, when the mine was closed because of an armed uprising on the island, it was the largest open-cut mine in the world.
