The Landing at Lae was an amphibious landing to the east of Lae in the Salamaua-Lae campaign of World War II between 4–6 September 1943. It was part of Operation POSTERN which was designed to capture the Japanese base at Lae. Rear Admiral Daniel Barbey was in command of Task Force 76 which landed the Australian 9th Division on the beaches. The Australian soldiers and their supplies were moved close to the area by planes, prior to the beach landings.
