Sydney Business Man Has New Interest
117 HEN Mr. A. W. Anderson, a well ff known small-goods manufacturer of Sydney, visited the Commonwealth Disposals sales in Rabaui some months ago he purchased a number of small ships as well as three floating docks. The latter he proposed to tow to Australia for use at the Karumba works, but owing to re presentations made to him by Rabaui residents, he decided to allow the docks to remain there for the use of local ship ping.
One of the small ships, “Wayanna”, purchased by Mr. Anderson in New Guinea, was brought down to Sydney, under its own power, by a native crew.
While the repairs are being made the eight members of the crew, who are natives of Vunamami in the Gazelle Pen insula, are living on Mr. Anderson’s farm near Cabramatta, NSW.
Mr. Anderson says that he has become interested in the future of the Territory and will be returning there at a later date.
“I get a kick out of giving any help where I think it is well deserved,” he said recently. “I am hoping to do some good up in New Guinea.”
