Mud Bay, Goodenough Island
Mud Bay is a bay on the south eastern coast of Goodenough Island in the Milne Bay province of Papua New Guinea.
In 1898 a mission station was established the village of Bwaidoga. The bay was the site of the landing of 520 troops of the Australian Army's 2/12th Infantry Battalion led by Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Arnold on 22 October 1942 as part of the Battle of Goodenough Island.[1]
Notes
- McCarthy 1959, pp. 347–349.
gollark: The main problem I envision is that I haven't worked out a standard for dimension naming, so it just uses the one it receives the most fixes containing, which can be basically anything the GPS servers want, and that it won't function reliably without a large amount of dimension-enabled GPS servers.
gollark: I've patched dimension support into the GPS libraries in potatOS and my trilaterating GPS server. Would people be interested in dimension support in GPS and/or should I PR it into CC: Tweaked?
gollark: `shell.exit()`
gollark: PotatOS actually had termination completely broken for... probably a few months... and somehow I didn't notice for ages and neither did anyone else.
gollark: What if they just terminate it?
