"Rambles In Papua"
p. 52 · Read in the full issue
Letter to the Editor 1 WONDER if any residents still living in Papua recall Mr. M. G. C. Pascoe, author of “Rambles in Papua”.
Ex-bank manager, old Geelong colleg iate, veteran of the Boer War, world-trav eller and marathon walker, his peregrina tions through Papua were as interesting as they were adventurous.
His rambles first appeared in the Too woomba “Chronicle” early in 1925, and his booklet was published in 1926. All profits arising from its sale were devoted to missionary work.
Now in his eighties, and still possessing an alert mind, he has happy recollections of his excursions through Papua.
Popularly called MGC, Mr. Pascoe has been living in retirement in Toowoomba for many years. In his early days he Was a contributor to many literary public ations.
