第2次大戦中日本軍はダーウィン、ホーン島を空爆。ホーン島にゼロ戦の残骸も残されています。トレス諸島の中心は人口5000人の木曜島。グリーン・ヒルの山頂にはロシア・日本の侵略に備えた砲台が名残をとどめます。後方に見えるのは金曜島。街外れにはアラフラ海の真珠採りで命を落とした日本人・マレー人・諸島民の墓地があります。古い墓は100年以上経ているので、壊れたり傾いた墓石も目立ちます。

Black weapons on Green Hill
Mon. May 19 : fine
Japanese army had an air raid on Darwin and Horn Island in the Second World War. There is a ruin of Zero Fighter on Horn Island. The center of Torres Islands is Thursday Island that has 5000 of population. There are batteries on the top of Green Hill that was once prepared for preventing from the invasion by Russia and Japan. The island seen on the background is Friday Island. There is the cemetery of Japanese, Malay, and Islanders who were killed in pearl hunting on the Arafura Sea. As the older tombs are more than 100 years old many gravestones are damaged or leaned.
