My Nissan Island served as a buffer zone for New Zealand and American soldiers in the Second World War. There are lots of evidences of war relics still visible around the island. Mostly, live ammunitions which are buried at least a meter in the ground. Come visit my beautiful island and find more about its uniqueness.
