Place: Mendana Avenue

Details

The coastal road through Honiara was named Mendana Avenue when urban development began in the 1940s, and originally the name applied to a much longer area of road. In March 1966, the road east of the Mataniko River became Prince Philip Highway, while the section west of Rove Creek became Tadai Highway. (NS 7 Apr. 1966)
