Bulolo Aerodrome

Dredge Swallows Up

Prom Our Own Correspondent WAU, Oct. 1.

A LANDMARK at Bulolo, NG is slowly disappearing as BCD’s No. 2 dredge eats its way along the aerodrome there.

It was this ’drome, built on alluvial river flats, that brought Bulolo into being, and as the dredge forges ahead with its job of mechani cal matricide, old-timers recall how the giant three-engined Junkers air craft of the early thirties brought in the first dredges piece by piece and landed them there. The dredges

were assembled along the Bulolo River and from there went into action.

Now the aerodrome—which is, of course, gold-bearing— must go.
