Moresby-ites in Melbourne

A FORMER resident of Papua, writing from Melbourne, supplies some interesting information about vari ous men of the Territory:— “I recently saw Ray Parer in naval uniform. Billy Hayes, of the BNG, Port Moresby, is at his old job of accountancy, this time at a big airport. Arthur Bea vis. of Milne Bay, is doing aircraft work.

Elliot, who had the dairy farm near Port Moresby, is now on a lathe, making munitions. That well-known planter, Fred. Bourke, of Orokolo, is building air planes now. and anyone who visited his oil mill and soap factory at Orokolo, and saw some of the ingenious machines he made, will not be surprised to hear that he has had some of his ideas accepted here.”
