Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Seriously?? Why there thre is a cannon next to it is anybodies guess... You must stop and visit just to say that you have seen the worlds silliest tourist attraction! Trip advisor you are scraping the bottom of the barrel for this one. Lae market is more of an attraction than this piece of concrete!

It's there but if you blink you will miss it. Just a plaque on the side of the road.
There is an old gun next to it.

The Amelia Earhart Memorial is situated in the heart of Lae city and a 5 mins walk down hill from the St Mary's Cathedral.
The memorial lacks funding and is not regularly maintained to attract visitors when driving past.

OK let’s face it. Lea isn’t a tourist location.
I have been to Lea a few times with work. Lea isn’t safe for a family or even a wife.
I had some time up my sleeve. So I went for a road trip to see every TripAdvisor site listed.
Found out I’ve past them all and I was never the wiser. So with my two local buddies a need extra.
We covered the lot in under an hour.
The road isn’t long or hard the tourist scene is missing from this town.
No seaside cafe. In fact no cafe’s at all

The Memorial is a small plaque just off the roundabout. The area has been recently had a bit of a tidy up but is hardly worth stopping for.

Was a bit tricky to find. Located adjacent to the Old Airport, which is now vacant land. A small memorial to honor the last place a legend was seen. Somewhat overgrown nearby but the memorial itself is kept clean with flowers planted and cared for. A bit sad, but a memorial nonetheless. Really just a slow down as you drive past, as it is located on a busy roadway.

It is across from the old airport. Just a white stone like alter with her name on it. An antiaircraft gun next to it. With a few flowers planted in front of it on the corner of the street. It would be nice to have a nicer remembrance of the American explorer/adventurer.

for someone who is considered to such an important aviator this is a very tragic memorial, not worth the effort or time.

A stone with a plaque and a gun turret is all thats here and its in a very small park that is not well kept at all. It is not very safe for tourists in that area aswell. Very sad to see that it's called a memorial. Give it a miss!
