I don't know if anyone has up to date info but I'll ask anyway. Dad went to New Guinea in '37, was in Rabaul when the volcano lit up and has a very dramatic night photo which I hold. He worked as a patrol officer for a period and was in Salamaua pre war with Burns Philp, which is where he met to be Mum who had moved up six months prior to the war. She was evacuated and Dad stayed on till the end of the war, first with the New Guinea Volunteer Rifles and later with ANGAU. Question is, is there anyway to visit Salamaua, and do it safely considering the state of the country? Many Thanks.

Salamaua evacuation, to be Mum is somewhere there.
