Purdy Islands
The Purdy Islands (or Mwilitau Islands) are an uninhabited island group in the Bismarck Sea, belonging to Papua New Guinea. The Purdy Islands, Mole, Mouse, Rat, plus Bat and Alim (or North Bat and South Bat), form part of the Admiralty Islands group, in Manus Province.
==History==
The islands are owned by the Mbuke people.
They were named after hydrographer John Purdy by his friend Captain Abraham Bristow on 16 February 1817. Bat Island was the site of RAAF radar station 340 RS between March 1944 and April 1944 during the Second World War.〔url=http://radarreturns.net.au/archive/Radar%20YarnsRRWS.pdf〕 It was one of five such radar stations located within the Admiralty Islands to support the American Invasion. Bat Island proved to be a very dangerous location because it was infested with rats that carried mites which in turn carried Scrub typhus. The majority of the 30 or so strong unit succumbed to Scrub typhus and the station was abandoned after just over a month of service. A contingent of survivors and reinforcements returned in May 1944 to collect the mobile LW-AW radar station and all the equipment that had been left behind. There are two survivors of this radar station still living in Australia as at November 2015.
