Default Manus Island
Don't know if this is relevant but:

I recall reading something relating to surplus in the SWPA . Sometime in the post war period, the Aust. Govt. was offered the equipment that the US had left behind on Manus Island, Seeadler Harbor. The Aust. Govt. knocked back the offer after the equipment was assessed as being suitable for scrap only.
