Toby Millar

From an Account by Toby Millar

Among the papers of the late Toby Millar, of New Guinea (who died in Sydney in August last year), there was an account of an unusual recruit ing trip in the Sepik made by him and his wife in the ’Thirties. On an earlier recruiting trip, south-west of Dagua, he had found the ideal village of Enuenum—so clean and in such beautiful surroundings, and so well governed by an exceptional luluai, that he decided that he would return there some day. The luluai begged him to bring his “missus” with him next time as they had never seen a white woman. A year later Toby and Lillian Millar made the visit, and this is his description after they had dis embarked at Boram.
