Inland Ho!
p. 109 · Read in the full issue
Two landing barges operated by the Papua-New Guinea Transportation Squadron spend a good deal of time ploughing through waters which are miles from the sea, and full of naviga tional hazards seldom ex perienced by “blue water” sea men. The squadron is a unit of the Australian Army. Its tasks include resupplying inland Army patrols from coastal bases, and moving stores, fuel and equip ment for Commonwealth and Administration departments into areas inaccessible to normal shipping. The barges (the one pictured is the “Jaba”) have a carrying capacity of 50 tons.
