Bomana War Cemetery is a deeply significant and well-maintained Commonwealth War Graves Commission site commemorating those who died during the Pacific campaigns of World War II. It is generally accessible, though located outside Port Moresby requiring transport by taxi or private vehicle; paths are mostly navigable, but some grassy areas might pose challenges for mobility aids. Visitors can explore independently for quiet reflection, but a guided visit is highly recommended to gain profound historical insights into the Kokoda Track campaign and other battles. While open year-round, the dry season (May to November) offers more comfortable weather for outdoor exploration. Entry is typically free of charge, with the main cost being transportation to the site. A typical visit duration is 1 to 2 hours, allowing ample time for respectful contemplation of the thousands of graves. It is advised to dress modestly, bring water, and use sun protection.
