A thread where ex PNG geriatrics lapuns and long longs can live in the dim distant past.
Where tall stories are accepted as fact. War stories are applauded. Grab a Brownie, pull up a story and join in a trip down memory lane!!!

Guavas. Great trees for climbing in as kids, as even the thin branches wouldnīt snap. As kids we loved the fruit and could never get enough of them. Unfortunately they never really developed at the elevation of our station (about 6000ft).

It seems that the southern hemisphere is getting ready to hibernate, as itīs been quiet here the last few days. So Iīll do something to change that.

Hey Chuckles, did you ever hike out to the Black Cat pass B-17 wreck site while you were in Wau? One of the most impressive, intact, laying where it finished, remaining WWII crash sites around the place these days. I have always wished I could have had the chance to visit the site at ground level.

Ha ha! Yes, where would we be without our 'wantok' pilot friends - even the rotary wing kind...! Glad you got to visit - would have been a great day out.
Had a friend who tried to hike from Wau to Salamaua once. Raskols put an end to that attempt, and he wasn't too keen on making a second attempt either.

Black Cat Pass
This the one you mean guys. I hiked out there as a kid on a school outing. Didnīt have any wantok friends with choppers. . We actually found one of the single-barrel machineguns and lugged the f......... thing back to school.
