(See Photos Opposite) THESE photographs were taken by Mr.
Leo White when he visited the New Guinea Central Highlands last year.
Disregarding for a moment the lasses in the bottom photograph, the other photos are an excellent illustration of the hazards of normal flying in this area. The aero dromes are, at times, narrow ribbons of flat land in between towering mountains, Some of them are at between 5.000 and 6,000 feet above sea level. Yet air services are the life-line of this magnificent high country. In the top photo, the neat Gov ernment station can be seen, and, wind ing over the mountain, a thread of native road.
