Border Marking Ends
Joint Australian and Indo nesian survey teams have com pleted the first stage of marking the border between Papua-New Guinea and West New Guinea.
This consisted of establishing the location of six points from the North Coast southward in the Star Mountains area, and marking them with monuments.
Because of the rough country— mainly primary jungle—the work took three months to complete.
Indonesians and Australians worked together on the project, sharing equipment and supplies.
The next stage, to the south coast of Papua, will be com pleted next year.
