Leahy Bros. Out Beyond Mt. Hagen, N.G.
THOSE well-known New Guinea prospectors and explorers, Messrs. Mick and Dan Leahy, left the Ramu district recently on a “walkabout” for a few months. They have gone westward into the unknown region beyond Mount Hagen.
The brothers on previous occasions reached Mount Hagen and reported that to the westward of Mount Hagen there is apparently a continuation of the magnifi cent plateau country that lies eastward of Mount Hagen, in the Purari and Ramu valleys.
The country westward of Mount Hagen is quite unexplored, and it is not known that any white men have set foot there.
It is believed that ’it carries a very large population of natives of a superior type, and that the country generally is well cultivated.
The report of the Leahy brothers will be awaited with interest.
