Papua New Guinea Forum - Beautiful Bougainville by Steven Mago Before the Bougainville secessionist uprising in 1989, North Solomons Province was a thriving province, in fact the province of PNG that enjoyed considerable prosperity due to the Bougainville Copper Mine at Panguna. It was named after Louis Antoine de Bougainville, a French navigator, who, accompanied by naturalists and astronomers, made an historical voyage around the world (1767—69), visiting Tahiti in the Society Islands, the Samoan group, and the New Hebrides (now Vanuatu), and rediscovering the Solomon Islands Group, the largest of which was Bougainville. Central and South Bougainville are situated on the larger Bougainville Island, which is separated from Buka by the Buka Passage. www.pngbd.com /forum/showthread.php?t=5098   (998 words)
