Hey Woomera...I was there 30 years ago ...seems to me the Flag was raised at Waigani..not the Hubert Murray stadium......it was on a Hill which became known as "Independance Hill "....Just above where John Manly built his Taj Mahal.... Cheers Minosavy
Yes,
Minosavy, strictly speaking you are correct and I am wrong. I was talking about 31 years ago when the flag was raised at Hubert Murray Stadium -
for the very first time - at Self Government, one year before Independence.
Had to
Google to check. Also came up with a few facts, probably not so surprising, including Real growth rate: 0.9%. Inflation: 4.2%.
No wonder the Kina has dropped from Aus$1.35 to Aus$0.44 in the past 20 years.
