Melbourne - born Jean McCarthy has lived in Papua-New Guinea since 1937 and in Port Moresby since 1955. She leaves Port Moresby in September for a house in Mt. Eliza, out side Melbourne, when her husband, Mr. J. K. Mc- Carthy, retires as Director of District Administration.
But Jean and Keith McCarthy may be back, for the territory is in their blood. A week after arriv ing in Rabaul in 1937 as a bride, Jean was involved in the great Rabaul eruption.
It was the start of many ad ventures. In pre-war days Jean would sometimes travel with her husband into areas where no white woman had been. —Sibyl Lloyd.
