Morotai
Upon leaving Hollandia all the American and Australian forces gathered on the island of Morotai which became the biggest base in the Pacific.
The Japanese occupied the top of the island and continued to fight until the end of the war. The allies just cordoned them off and basically let them starve. Here are a lot of mainly Australian photos.
The Australians left here to land on Borneo and the Americans to land in the Philippines. Morotai was still a huge base at the end of the war.
