Munda was a pleasant, and unexpected surprise when it came to WWII relics. Here our guide that was set up for us at the last minute, is showing off a japanese machine gun a local had recovered and left in their yard. Several such "spots" exist around the area, and the next few posts will show them off, culminating with Barney's own museum that was fascinating and solemn at the same time. Barney was a father of 4 if I recall, and partly local native, part Scandinavian. But he smelled local. His awareness and "guided" ability to find war relics was quite keen. I could have spent an entire day at his museum, and regret that I did not.
