reported that the TPNG Department of Forests developed forest plantations of indigenous and exotic species in selected areas since 1950, following the concept that permanent centres of population and existing industry, required a perpetual supply of raw materials.

Bulolo Wau plantation area commenced in 1949/50.

Kerevat plantation (near Rabaul) commenced in 1951.

Mt Lawes (Brown River) plantation near Port Moresby 1955.

Asaro (near Goroka) plantation commenced in 1963.

Wahgi Valley (near Mt Hagen) commenced in 1965.

The objective of the TPNG Department of Forests was for forest plantation development in PNG to augment the supplies of logs from the natural forest This policy recognized that plantation forests were seen as complementary to natural forests, never able to replace all the values associated with the natural forests, but where appropriately developed, helping to divert some of the pressures away from them.

For PNG’s natural forests, this was based on the premise of a 35-year harvesting cycle.

Given the issue of land ownership in PNG, behind the PNG forest tree plantation development timeline there is a history of a series of ‘difficulties’ or ‘challenges’ through land tenure conflicts, sometimes between government and landowners, but more often between various groups of landowners.

Over this period, the plantation complexes of Kerevat in New Britain and Brown River (Mt. Lawes) via Port Moresby has succumbed to land tenure conflicts.

Bob Tate3 of PNG Forest Industries Association advised that further projects due to land issues, oil palm conversion and other factors had been discontinued. They included Gogol Valley, Madang North Coast (including JANT and its associated wood chip mill no longer operating), Fayantina, Kaut, Lapegu, Whagi Valley and Ulamona.

However, to this day, government authorities view the benefits of plantation development to represent a major opportunity for growth in PNG’s long-term wood supply and a significant contributor to regional economic development by value adding locally to primary production and generating downstream processing jobs.

Between 1937 (McAdam4 commenced duties in 1938 as TPNG’s Chief Forester) and 2000, PNG had established some 62,000 hectares5 of forest plantations. The major species planted 2

Initially, the TPNG Department of Forests through its Division of Silviculture established two sections – Forest Research and Forest Plantation Management. (Future PNGAF magazines will address the individuals involved and the work undertaken within the PNG Forest Research and PNG Plantation Management Sections of past times).

Early research into Araucaria hunsteinii (Klinkii Pine) silviculture7 was undertaken by Joe Havel which was completed by 1959 and published in 1965.

Much of the early silvicultural pioneering research work to grow PNG Species in plantation format is detailed in the first silvicultural publication Silvicultural Techniques in Papua New Guinea Plantations. Division of Silviculture Bulletin No 1 by K J White & Alan Cameron. This publication detailed the development of silvicultural techniques to grow PNG species in plantation format both for industrial plantations as well as individual landowners through extensive extension programs.

9Silviculture

of Pinus in PNG Bulletin # 5 by JEN Smith in 1970 describes silvicultural techniques to grow Pinus species in PNG. At the same time, the Department of Forests ran an extensive forest extension program with over forty extension nurseries which annually distributed over one million trees per annum which were planted by small holders for fuelwood, shelter wood and to augment future sawlog supplies.

Interesting publications produced included PLANIM DIWAI YAR - Grow Casuarina by the Dept. of Forests 1967 where extensive community plantings of Casuarina in the Highlands were undertaken especially for fuel wood and shelter requirements.

As part of this PNG Plantation series, Dr Bob Thistlethwaite in his paper Further domestication of PNG’s indigenous forest species11 described the work undertaken in PNG re indigenous and exotic species until 1975.

3000 BC

The oldest record of oil palm use date from 3,000 BC when in the late 1800s archaeologists discovered several kegs of palm oil in a tomb located in Abydos, Egypt. It is believed that Arab traders had brought the oil to Egypt.

According to legend, the coffee plant was discovered in Ethiopia by a goat herder named Kaldi who observed increased activity in his goats after they consumed coffee beans. The first coffee plant was found in the mountains of Yemen. The genus Coffea) is of about 125 species of flowering plants of the family Rubiaceae, mostly native to tropical Africa. Two species are of major economic importance as the source of coffee.

Coffee beans first exported out of Ethiopia to Yemen by Somali Merchants, then exported to the rest of the World through the port of Mocha, Yemen. Sufi monasteries in Yemen employed coffee as an aid to concentration during prayers. It soon spread to Mecca and Medina.

Coffee reached the rest of the Middle east, South India, Persia, Turkey, India, Northern Africa. Coffee then spread to the Balkans, Italy, rest of Europe and Southeast Asia.

Coffee first cultivated in India (Chikmagalur).

Frank Lawes advised Sir William McGregor Administrator of British New Guinea (1888-1898) that a small botanical garden of some 3 acres had been fenced and laid out near Government House. It was planted with certain fruit trees, coffee, jute, millet, ground nuts, maize, and several species of vegetables.

The Kerevat plantations were based on the performance of early introductions of Teak in the late 19 th and early 20th centuries by the Germans from Burma for trial plantings at Alexishafen near Madang and Kokopo near Rabaul.

Between 1890 and 1900 by German New Guinea Administration • First entry provinces were Madang and Rabaul Provinces • Seeds of Burmese origin • Recommended for reforestation and afforestation plantations in PNG in 1925. • Teak plantation commenced in 1950 at Keravat in East New Britain and 1955 at Brown River near Port Moresby.

The Germans were the first to plant oil palm in 189495 on the Rai Coast of Papua New Guinea. The Germans also established additional experimental plantings in the early 1920s near Popondetta in Northern (Oro) Province (Landell Mills 1991).

Commercial plantings were established in 1967 following a World Bank recommendation that oil palm on a nucleus estate-smallholder system be introduced to New Britain or Bougainville to diversify the agricultural economy and increase the export income of Papua New Guinea.

Commercial rubber was first planted in PNG in 1903. Most production was in the Australian Territory of Papua (now the Southern Region of PNG). In German New Guinea, attempts to build a rubber industry were based on assam rubber (Ficus elastica), which is inferior to para rubber (Hevea brasiliensis). Consequently, very little rubber was produced in German New Guinea.

In Papua, plantations were first developed at Galley Reach, Sogeri and Cape Rodney in Central Province and in the Kerema area of Gulf Province. They subsequently expanded into the Kokoda area of Oro Province and parts of New Ireland Province. The principal exports from Papua in the 1930s and 1940s were copra and rubber, and rubber contributed almost 30% by value in the 1930s.

History of E. deglupta as a plantation species and planting has until recently been experimental or on a pilot scale.

The earliest introductions of seed were from the indigenous stands which occur in the Cotabato area of Mindanao to other islands in the Philippines, e.g., to Baguio in northwest Luzon in 1918 and 1926. The first introduction into Cebu Island was in 1954 (Lizardo, 1956). Similarly, the first major plantings on the main island of Papua New Guinea were made in 1948 from seed collected at Keravat on the neighbouring island of New Britain. Outside Southeast Asia, the first small-scale introductions were made in the late 1950s or in the 1960s, e.g., the Ivory Coast and Solomon Islands 1958, the Congo 1961, Sri Lanka 1967. The Philippines had about 7 000 ha planted by 1974, mainly by the Paper Industries Corporation of the Philippines (PICOP). Papua New Guinea recorded 736 ha planted to 1973. The Congo reported 170 ha planted mainly between 1961 and 1966. The Ivory Coast reported 50 ha of trials.

The Commonwealth Forestry Bureau was established under an Inspector-General to advise the Commonwealth government on forestry in Australia, to provide higher education in forestry for the State forestry services and to conduct research. Charles Edward Lane Poole was appointed Inspector-General.

The Australian Forestry School, which had been established on a temporary basis in Adelaide in March 1926, moved to permanent quarters at Westridge, now Yarralumla, in the FCT and was placed under the Commonwealth Forestry Bureau. Charles Lane Poole, the Commonwealth’s Inspector-General of Forests and Forestry Adviser, was appointed Acting Principal of the school.

Already a start has been made on reforestation with the same species. (Hoop and Klinkii). Last year, 45 acres were planted. This year, 100 acres are being planted and, in the nursery, there is stock for 300 acres of plantation next year.

It is expected that the future plantings will eb about 600 to 700 acres per year. At the end of the rotation (50 years), it is calculated that the annual cut will exceed 60 million super feet of logs as against the rationed cut of 10 million super feet from the virgin stands. There will be a great volume of early thinnings from the plantations in about ten years and this may well lead to the establishment of the first pulp factory in the Territory.

At Kerevat, the Department has commenced silvicultural research work on the coastal stands. Kamarere, teak and balsa are being established on about 100 acres this year.

The original kamarere plot of about 10 acres established four years ago (1948) is now over 60 feet high and ready for its first thinning. Some of these thinnings will be going to the Division of Forest Products for testing for pulping and other purposes. The teak, which is established from seed obtained from areas planted by the Germans at Namatanai forty years ago is showing promising growth and may provide the answer to a durable timber for local construction.

During 1957 a fifty-year-old teak tree was cut from the Kokopo plantation (established by the German administration prior to 1914) and sawn into planks at the Kerevat mill.

The result was the commencement in the early 1950s of the plantations at Kerevat and Brown River (Mt. Laws). At Kerevat, Teak, Tectona grandis and Kamarere, Eucalyptus deglupta, were grown on neighbouring blocks on the river flats, mostly in pure stands but also in admixture, with the faster grown, Kamarere being tried as a sort of “cover crop,” soon to be abandoned.

At the Brown River, by 1971, the planting program had steadied at about 200 ha per year. But at Kerevat, the onset of local land ownership claims curtailed further planting.

Initially seed for the Kerevat plantation was collected from old German plantings near Kokopo and on New Ireland. In 1957 this was being organised by Regional Forest Officer, Alex Richardson and Regional staff officer, Ms. Lorraine Taylor.

The seed, sown in small nurseries, was allowed to grow into small plants which, at the time of planting out were cut into “stumps.” The planted “stumps” were protected from attack by the plague of giant African snails with cardboard rings soaked in snail deterrent.

In early 1961, the Australian Government made a nationwide recruiting drive (in Australia) to interview and enlist six (6) potential Assistant Forest Rangers, as part of ten (10) students, to be the first intake for the Bulolo Forestry College. The new recruits included Bruce Anderson, Tony Crompton, Rod Hall, Tony Brown, Heiner Streimann, and Peter Eddowes.

However, as the Forestry College Buildings had not been started, at this time, the BFS did not start up until 1962.

The first Principal of the school was Joe Havel with Bill Finlayson, followed by Leon Clifford, Robin Angus, and later John Godlee. The students were all housed together, into one (old) wooden building opposite the old forestry office. A classroom was established inside the forestry office building. The first course ended in 1963.

The part-time lecturers included Kevin White, Alan Cameron, Eric Hammermaster, Greg McDonald, Phil Ainsworth, Alan Ross, and John Womersley.

The establishment of the Bulolo Forestry College in 1962 was the commencement of formal technical training for Papua New Guineans.

Joe Havel the inaugural Principal described Forest Education in PNG. Four courses were offered at Bulolo Forestry College. They included Forestry Diploma (3-year course); Higher Certificate in Forestry (2-year course); Lower Certificate in Forestry (6 months course) and a Diploma of Cartography (3-year course).

Initially, it began with two-year certificate course and the three-year diploma course was added in 1967 (the first graduates started their field work in 1970).

They actively sought commercial ventures establishing plantations, sawmilling, and investigated starting a brewery. They dominated the sawmilling industry in the Islands region for the next seventy years.

Saw milling operations by the Sacred Heart Mission began on the Gazelle Peninsular in 1902 at Toriu River and then in 1917 moved to Kuriendal and finally to Ulamona in 1928.

At first the logs were cut within the immediate area of the mill, but it was soon necessary for a 700 mm gauge railway to be constructed some 4 km into the forest to haul logs to the mill.

There were several substantial bridges including a roofed bridge spanning the Bigges River.

The Australian administrators of Papua and New Guinea first attempted to survey the timber potential of parts of Papua in 1908. By arrangement with the Queensland Government, a Queensland Forest Inspector Mr Gilbert Burnett went to Papua to report on its timber resources. He stayed there for seven months and visited various places along the coast from the Purari Delta to Samarai and in the vicinity of Buna Bay to the north-east. Mr Burnet16 reported he had some difficulty in penetrating into the country, but he produced a report of an optimistic nature and a list of about 120 species, mostly indicated by their native names.

1920 REF: PNGAF Mag # 9A of 15/3/71 p22. Lack Wood Preservation Treatments.

As noted earlier, throughout PNG’s history, there were no long-standing timber structures.

This was because the sapwood of all PNG timbers and the heartwood of some PNG timbers are liable to attack by wood destroying fungi, boring insects, and termites. In addition, all untreated timber placed in saltwater is liable to attack by a variety of organisms collectively known as marine borers. There was an enormous need to develop wood preservation methods for PNG timbers.

Back in 1920, the problems of a lack of timber preservation treatment were highlighted in the 1918-19 PAPUA Annual Report.

In an extract of W R Smith’s Acting Director of Public Works, Public Works Department.

Annual Report for the year ended 30th June 1919 (pages 67 to 70), the problems of the lack of timber preservation treatment are described.

The Commonwealth Government commissioned the Commonwealth New Guinea Expedition who presented an interim report titled Reporting on the Natural Resources of the Mandated Territory. May 1922.

Page 8 Interim Report Commonwealth New Guinea Expedition 9/12/20-14/11/21. During the military occupation of the Territory, no organised effort was made to ascertain its actual and potential resources. Casual reports occasionally came through from the Administrator to the Minister of Defence and were based for the most part on observations by police masters, Deputy District Officers etc. or sometimes through the Rabaul Lands Department. Just before the introduction of the New Guinea Bill, the Prime Minister decided that an expedition suitably equipped for the purpose be sent to New Guinea. The writer had a conference with him, and the Minister of Defence and the Expedition was outlined in several official memorandum submitted and approved

by Mr Hughes.

The Territory had a land area of 72,000 square miles and it was not part of the objects of the expedition to attempt to explore such an area. The main object in making a voyage was to gain information at first hand relating to general questions such as land, manpower, trading, recruiting, waterways and power, anchorages etc. and to visit the more remote and little-known parts away from the shipping routes and in uncharted waters. During its currency, provision was made for conducting the customary observations of a scientific expedition such as meteorological work, mapping rivers, reefs, mountains, measuring potential power of waterfalls, determining latitudes and longitudes, measuring altitudes, taking soundings, recording natural phenomena such as earthquakes, geysers etc.

In 1925, Lane Poole presented his Report Forest Resources of the Territories of Papua and New Guinea to Federal Parliament. In 1923 and 1924, Charles Lane Poole completed a survey of Papua and New Guinea and recommended the establishment of a forest service. .

In 1935, Lane Poole presented a report title 20Report on the Forests of the Goldfields of New Guinea: Together with recommendations regarding a forest policy for the whole Territory.

The history of PNG Forestry is intrinsically linked to the development of the Bulolo Wau valleys gold fields and their natural stands of Araucarias.

Readers need to refer to separate authors as James Sinclair who have described in detail the history of the Bulolo Wau goldfields.

Lane Poole in his report on the forests of the goldfields of Bulolo Wau in 1935 stated: that the only asset that he could see to replace the wasting product, gold was timber. The region is purely a forest one, and its climate is decidedly a forest climate – in short proven forest country.

In contrast to the emphasis placed on industry use – values by miners and government officials in the mining office, government forestry officials emphasise the potential for an industry and the wastefulness of the mining community. In his 1935 survey of timber in the Morobe goldfields, Lane Poole was concerned with value of timber and overly critical that the timber was not being used appropriately by mining companies. For example, cedar was used as an allpurpose resource when durability was necessary. He quoted the use of cedar for a water race when the cedar would have been put better to use in the production of fine cabinetry.

With the threat of war in the Pacific, McAdam enlisted in the Australian Military Forces on 19 September 1940 at Wau. He began full-time duty with the New Guinea Volunteer Rifles on 22 January 1942 and was promoted sergeant within a fortnight. After the Japanese invaded Salamaua in March, he led a party of scouts which established an observation post within a mile (1.6 km) of enemy positions. The intelligence which the team gathered was crucial to the success of the Australian raid on the town in June. McAdam acted as a guide in the foray. He was awarded the Military Medal for his outstanding service at Salamaua.

When he needed engines and gearboxes, Jim converted abandoned Japanese motors and gearboxes to power the mill.

He initially ran a team of Chinese labourers that had been abandoned in Rabaul by the Japanese army and later a team of Papuan New Guineans. Pat, his wife, did the books. #1 Derelict Kerevat Sawmill as at 1967-68. # 14 Remnants of the old sawdust heap from the mill. Photo credit J D Davidson.

1947 History of Research Work in Forestry and Forest Products in Australia and PNG. (Extracts article by G Rodger Unasylva Vol 1 # 3 Nov-Dec 1947 FAO) Research in forestry may be said to have been carried out from the earliest days of Australia's settlement, although in the beginning it consisted largely of systematic botanical investigations and experiments in the development of exotic trees.

Future Work of the Various Organizations in 1947.

Forest Products Division, CSIR New Guinea Timbers. - Acting in close co-operation with the New Guinea Forests Department, the Division proposes to continue and extend the work on the examination of physical and mechanical properties of New Guinea timbers.

36

Division of Forest Products, CSIR. The following summary indicates the main types of work carried out by the various sections of the Division.

Wood Structure Section. - This Section has made a comprehensive study of the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of Australian timbers and has applied the results of its work to identification keys on the one hand and to certain features of investigation of other sections on the other. During World War II, card-sorting keys developed for the timbers of the Pacific Islands were of considerable aid to the Allied forces fighting in that zone.

Wood Chemistry Section. – continues the work of the pulp and paper investigations initiated by the old Forest Products Laboratory.

Timber Physics Section. - In addition to purely fundamental research into the physical properties of timber, this Section has carried out valuable work in connection with the selection of suitable timbers for such specialty uses as battery separators.

Timber Mechanics Section. - Its earlier work on the mechanical properties of various Australian timbers made it possible, when World War II began, for this Section to suggest species worthy of further test for such critical uses as aircraft construction, and during the war the whole of its effort was devoted to mechanical tests of timber and plywood for such uses. Other major projects include a study of the bending properties of Australian timbers and, more recently, projects designed to meet the need of materials for housing.

Seasoning Section. – Major activity was developing a high standard of kiln drying in Australia. In 1929, timber-drying kilns in this country were relatively few and, for the most part, inefficient. Mainly because of the activities of the Timber Seasoning Section, kiln drying is established practice throughout the Commonwealth and most kilns been built to designs provided by the section. Further, many kiln operators have either been trained in the Section or have taken its correspondence course in kiln operation. The section has years undertaken several major projects related to utilization problems, the most important of these being sawmill studies and investigation of sawdust-cement and wood-wool-cement mixtures.

Preservation Section. - Some of the earliest projects of the Division were concerned with field tests of poles, sleepers, and fence posts treated with various preservatives.

These are still in progress, but some valuable information has been obtained already, The Section was responsible for the boric acid treatment of lyctus-susceptible timbers, a process which has now been adopted in both Queensland and New South Wales and is made compulsory for certain timbers in the latter State. Original work towards a systematic study of wood-destroying fungi was interrupted by the war but is now being resumed.

Veneer and Gluing Section. - Assistance in the peeling, drying, and gluing of Australian timbers. Work on adhesives is taking an increasingly important place in its program.

Utilization Section. - Dealing with production problems in general, this section applies information obtained by the other sections and gives advice to the industry in accordance with the data so gathered.

1948 FAO in Unasylva Vol 2 # 6 1948 New Guinea and Papua The article viewed the territories as under the administration of the Department of Forests of the Territories in conjunction with the Commonwealth Forestry and Timber Bureau of Australia. They have a land area of over 46 million hectares (115 million acres) about equally divided between Papua and New Guinea. Together they are 60 to 70 percent forested. The population is in the neighbourhood of a million.

Forest types include the lowland rain forest from sea level up to about 700 meters (2,000 ft.) elevation. The midmountain forest consists of Araucaria and oak; and the mossy forest at 2,300 to 3,500 meters (7,000 to 11,000 ft.) elevation is composed of Nothofagus, Phyllocladus, Dacrydium, Libocedrus, and Podocarpus. There are also some swamp forests and savannah types of little economic value except for mangrove. The lowland rain forest resembles the mixed dipterocarps of Indonesia, the Philippines, Indochina, and Malaya. The Araucaria resembles that of northeastern Australia, and the mossy forest is similar to the indigenous type of New Zealand.

The ownership of forest land remains with the inhabitants either as individuals or as village groups. Government ownership must be obtained through purchase from the inhabitants before territorial forest reserves can be established.

There has been extensive coverage of the territories by aerial photographs taken during the war. There has also been considerable botanical collection and classification work by the Australian Forest Products Laboratory of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research at Melbourne, and by the State botanist of Queensland in Australia. There are, however, only very rough estimates of the volume of timber in the territories. Such estimates place the rain forests at 38 to 114 m3 log volume per hectare (640 to 1,630 cu. ft. per acre) and the Araucariaoak forest is said to carry about 1.1 million m3 (40 million cu. ft.) over a total area of 15,000 hectares (37,000 acres). During the war, U. S. Army sawmills produced considerable quantities of lumber. There are now 11 sawmills operating which in 1947 produced about 21,000 m3 (740,000 cu. ft.) of lumber. The Australian government operates a sawmill to train local sawyers and some skilled labourers. As production expands, Australia hopes to meet not only the present annual requirements of the territories, but to obtain considerable quantities of hardwoods for Commonwealth use. Although pre-war annual consumption of timber in the territories was not great, it is estimated that rehabilitation requirements will need almost 23,600 m3 (830,000 cu. ft.) a year for the next five or six years. Minor forest products include sago from the Metroxylon palm, nipa palm leaves for thatching, mangrove bark for tannin, dammar gum, canes, and bamboos.

Among the problems facing any forestry program in the territories, one of the most urgent is the control of shifting cultivation. Territorial forest reservations will have to be made to meet local demands and expanded export industries. A comprehensive inventory should be made, taking advantage of the excellent aerial photographs that are available. It will be necessary to secure trained foresters, and such training is being provided at the Australian Forestry School at Canberra. Plans are under way for a research program in silviculture through the Commonwealth Forestry and Timber Bureau, and in products through the C.S.I.R. at Melbourne.

W A Heather (Bill) was a Regional Forest Officer at Rabaul New Britain in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s in Papua New Guinea.

Bill Heather was born in Ashfield NSW in 1923 and buried on 29 Dec 2004 Gungahlin.

He attended the Australian Forestry School in 1943 with foresters as Hugh Bell and Alan McArthur. He undertook plant collections from Sogeri (Papua) and New Britain in the NGF series (CF New Guinea Forces Lae after 1945.)

He and forest ranger W R Fryar of Kerevat forest plantations started the plantation program with Eucalyptus deglupta (Kamarere) at Kerevat New Britain in 1948.

Bill married Norma in 1951 in Narrandera. It was reported in the Narrandera Argus and Riverina Advertiser (NSW: 1893 - 1953), Monday 25 June 1951, page 1. On the 16th of June they sailed on the 'Bulolo' for Rabaul, their future homeland.

The steamer 'Narani' was used to transport processed cutch to Port Moresby in the early 1950s. Photo credit National Library of Australia.

In 1951 Narani was sold to the New Guinea Borneo Mangrove Company and taken to Aird Hills in the Kikori River Delta, Papua.

Her role was to transport cutch (bark harvested and processed) from mangrove trees Port Moresby. The cutch factory had a railway line to transport bark to the processing plant and processed cutch back to the Narani.

In 1951 the Narani was purchased by the New Guinea Borneo Mangrove Co., Port Moresby.

The Australian Women's Weekly Wednesday 27 June 1951 published this account: "English couple Charles and Phyllis Cook left Sydney in the old N.S.W. coaster Narani recently, counting the days till they are back in the jungle. Mr. and Mrs. Cook are on their way to a river delta at Perome, 300 miles from Port Moresby, in Papua, where they will establish a factory to make a bark extract from native trees. The Cooks like jungle life. Before coming to Sydney, where their ship took on six months' supplies and equipment, they lived in Borneo. In Borneo Mr. Cook was managing a factory producing bark extract, which is called cutch, and is used to dye materials khaki and to preserve fishing nets. The bark extract, then made from a type of wattle in India, was used to colour British military uniforms khaki last century after the War Office had decided that the resplendent redcoats were too easily spotted by the enemy. Mr. Cook will use mangrove bark to make the extract in his Papuan factory. It is claimed that this type of bark produces the best dye."

Michael Pearson28 described PNG’s Great Train Robbery: "The Borneo New Guinea Mangrove Company established a pioneer factory in the swamps of the Kikori River Delta at Aird Hills to extract cutch (a tanning fluid from mangrove bark). A short tramline (about 1300 metres) was built from the wharf to the factory. It carried firewood and the bark inwards, and cutch out for shipment. There was a small IC-engined locomotive which hauled flat trucks and hopper wagons over the line. By 1958 the venture had failed, and the equipment was abandoned. Mr. Keith Tetley, a local trader, collected rails to build a wharf and copra drier.

Steamships Trading Company (STC) eventually purchased the assets of the Borneo New Guinea Mangrove Company from receivers with the intention of using them at their Baimuru Sawmill. On arrival to collect their bounty, STC crews discovered its disappearance.

Whereabouts of the railway equipment was soon discovered, and the company took Mr Tetley to court, thus commencing the case of PNG's Great Railway Robbery. Mr Tetley eventually won the case as there was no caretaker at the site and the rails were not on land belonging to the company, and therefore, they could be considered abandoned. He is reported to have arrived at the Kerema Hall for the annual Christmas party pulling a toy train, much to the delight of those present. STC lost out badly, not only losing the rails and the money paid for them but also having to pay court costs.

Readers need to refer to separate authors as James Sinclair29 who have described in detail the history of the Bulolo Wau goldfields.

From the discovery of gold at Koranga Creek near Wau by William “Shark eye” Park in 1922 the development of the Wau Bulolo Valleys for gold mining with roads, townships and airstrips enabled a flourishing timber industry to be developed including large scale plantation development which continues to this day One of two hotels in Wau 1930 Note Mt Kaindi in the background.

PNG Forest Products evolved from Bulolo Gold Dredging Limited that commenced operations in large scale alluvial mining in 1932. The Bulolo region was at the time one of the largest gold fields in the world.

Bulolo Gold Dredge (1960.) Photo Credit PNGAA. A total of 7 dredges scoured the valley floor, dredging thousands of tons of high-grade gold bearing ore long before roads had been built into the interior of the Territory, the development of almost inaccessible regions was pioneered with air transport. With the stimulation of gold discoveries, airfields for example were opened in the 1920’s at Salamaua, Wau and alter Lae. Aircrafts used ranged from Super Constellations on the external routes and DC.3’s on major internal routes to small easily manoeuvrable aircrafts on small strips in rugged countryside.

As the mining operation for gold production declined in the Wau Bulolo area, interest developed in nearby stands of Klinkii pine. Restricted cutting of these valuable softwoods and a reforestation program ensured that the timber cut out will be replaced.

The plywood factory and sawmill were constructed by Commonwealth New Guinea Timbers Ltd. In collaboration with the then government, the pine plantations were also established as part of a large-scale post-mining reforestation program by the Departments of Forests.

In 1954 plywood production and the export of product to overseas destinations commenced and for the past 50 years the company has been involved in the conversion of both hardwood and plantation resource to high value end products.

PNGAF magazine issue # 9B-5A of th 8th of June 2021, described the history of assessment of PNG’s Forest Resources till 1975. What of tomorrow?

Up until 1963 forest surveys were ground based but to complete the comprehensive coverage of PNG’s forest resources to meet the Commonwealth Government’s timeframe, helicopter transport was introduced. This was documented30 by Don McIntosh and Eric Hammermaster in 1968.

Major surveys then undertaken included timber areas as Vanimo; Empress Augusta Bay; Open Bay; Wanigela; West New Britain; Middle Ramu; Bulolo Wau; Ioma -Kumusi; Sagarai Gadaisu; Cape Rodney; Tonolei Harbour etc.

From 1963 -69 approximately 3,600,000 ha were assessed when helicopter techniques of inventory were introduced.

In early 1961, the Australian Government made a nationwide recruiting drive (in Australia) to interview and enlist six (6) potential Assistant Forest Rangers, as part of ten (10) students, to be the first intake for the Bulolo Forestry College. The new recruits included Bruce Anderson, Tony Crompton, Rod Hall, Tony Brown, Heiner Streimann, and Peter Eddowes. However, as the Forestry College Buildings had not been started, at this time, the BFS did not start up until 1962. The first Principal of the school was Joe Havel, a very dedicated forester to the task ahead. The students were all housed together, into one (old) wooden building opposite the old forestry office. A classroom was established inside the forestry office building. Four other personnel were recruited locally (from PNG) however, the latter four personnel, did not stay on to complete the course that ended in 1963.

Initially, a two-year certificate course and the three-year diploma course was added in 1967 (the first graduates started their field work in 1970).

The first Principal was Joe Havel with Bill Finlayson, followed by Leon Clifford, then Robin Angus and later John Godlee.

The College was opened by the Minister for Teritories, The Hon. C.E.Barnes MP on the 3rd of August 1965. It was then known as the Papua and New Guinea Forestry School Bulolo.

Giant African Snail (Achatina fulica) shell trouble it caused in establishing the plantations at Keravat. The snails had come into Rabaul in packing cases for military hardware transported to the Japanese garrison from Malaya in 1942 and had flourished. They planted out and the only way to overcome the problem was to surround each seeding with a tube on malthoid that had been soaked in metaldehyde. The Giant African Snails were a problem around Rabaul because some of the big ones were so tough that they could puncture a car tire. They eventually spread all over coastal PNG – my specimen came from my garden in Port Moresby.KG

Post Courier Friday 1 August 1969 Barry Gray’s Mt Dayman Holiday On one expedition in 1969 with Andy Gillison and Henry Ivagai we were stranded on Mt. Dayman for 11 days instead of 5 and we had run out of food and had no means of communication with headquarters. It was bitterly cold at night and ice formed in the nearby stream and extraordinarily strong gales. The helicopter booked to pick us up was instead posted to Rabaul to assist with the pending riots. In view of this we tried walking out but failed. I lost several toenails as a result. Then Andy bravely took off by himself and notified the authorities of our plight which by then was news in Australia and overseas. On our return to Moresby the paper had the headline “These boots were not made for walking.”

Beetle fights back Barry Gray reported that it was decided to undertake spray trails against Hylurdrectonus in 1971 using a HUSS bucket which was slung beneath a helicopter as suggested to me as a possibility by the US Forestry Service on a visit to the USA. This technique was novel at the time as it had only been previously used to spray oil spills. A HUSS bucket was in southern Victoria. It was being used by ESSO to spray spills in the Bass oil fields.

Gray travelled to Sale and conducted some trial runs over the Pinus plantations in the Gippsland area; it was quite exhilarating flying just above the canopy.

However, the experience of flying above the hoop pine trees in the Bulolo plantations was downright scary and bloody dangerous in the very hilly terrain. This was the primary reason for evaluating the HUSS bucket as it could be released on hitting a tree and not lose the helicopter.

Photograph courtesy John Davidson. This shows the operation of the HUSS bucket (HUSS = Helicopter Underslung Spray System) at Bulolo.

This was quite a saga at the time, for which only Barry Gray could tell the story!

In one incident Forests lost the HUSS bucket. Fortunately, Forests were able to retrieve the damaged bucket and conduct repairs before returning it to ESSO in Australia. Jim Belford assisted Gray on the project.

Repairs were conducted by the company and Jack Bayley (Forests workshop supervisor mechanic) As a prelude to the spray trials numerous items were required including balloons as markers.

The pesky Clerk at the regional office in Lae promptly wrote back seeking to know whether Gray wanted party hats and whistles.

Living National Treasure Neville Howcroft.

During the 1970s, at Bulolo, Neville Howcroft carried out a lot of work on grazing under the araucaria and pine plantations, including making several new legume introductions. This work was written up in the Forest Research Note series at the time, but the most important outcome was a field day held at Bulolo held in the mid-1970s with participants from all over and attendance of the radio media.

Trivia

Paul Ryan -The TO who was handy with a chain saw during the Wau/Bulolo survey (1967)who, with a little help from me carved out a canoe with a chain saw by lamp light while we were camped by some lake at the back of Wau doing defect and decay felling and analysis, he also carved a metre and a half long wooden spoon which was presented to Neil Brightwell as chief stirrer during our Morobe survey (1967).

Paul Ryan - the kiap at Ioma (1967) who considered himself a little tin god. Our base camp was adjacent to his office and in the morning, he would line up his police and others on parade. So, one morning, Bill Wallace, our ex-RAF Canberra bomber pilot cum helicopter pilot, decided as we were finishing breakfast to hold our own parade. All of us present then lined up and Wallace proceeded in true British swagger stick style to inspect us, much to the chagrin of the kiap, and the mirth of local bystanders.

Paul Ryan - the same base camp, I think it was Tony who decided to clean out/sanitize the pit toilet, which was located next to the kiap’s office. He got together a gallon or so of av gas dregs from used drums, poured it down the hole, lit a taper and threw it in. There was a bit too much av gas as a mighty roar erupted, blew the roof of the dunny and sent shit everywhere.

Paul Ryan - On the Mt Giluwe inventory, we had, as usual, ordered our beer and spirits to be delivered by charter aircraft. This was a Caribou coming from Madang and for the first time that I know some Treasury officer went out to check on how the chartered aircraft was being used. He objected to some100 cases of beer and liquor going on such a flight despite my explaining it was part of our food ration requirement without which we would not survive. It took severe persuasion from higher up to allow it to happen.

Paul Ryan - On that inventory, I left all the field books behind by the runway, after the Caribou, which came in to take out much of the gear and personnel closed the airstrip after heavy rain. Those of us left got out on empty return charter flights for the station or mission, using baggage allowance or freight vouchers that I had, but there was no room for the tin box

with the survey books. I was given a thick ear back in Moresby by Eric, though, thankfully, we got the books back on a charter a day or two later.

Paul Ryan/Dick McCarthy - Sagari and Milne bay is that the plantation manager was ex RAAF. He had crashed one of their good fighter planes and when he got out of hospital he walked out on the RAAF and ended up in PNG managing the Sagari plantation. The other thing was all the silver ware at the plantation so that when you had a meal, he (the manager) would call for the potatoes Boi then the carrot Boi then the steak Boi etc. who brought each dish on separate silver platters.

Chris Borough. - The funniest occurrence at Keravat was when a new trainee typist was being appointed. She duly typed up the material given her. About 4 months later a huge truck full of chairs, desks, bookshelves, bush knives etc all appeared. We worked out that the trainees’ typing test had worked its way through to Gov. Stores and lo and behold we had a wonderful office full of all the latest gear – and it was new bush knives all around.

Chris Borough recalled a funny experience with Dave Num. He came to our place in Gordons to go to a Ball. He was dressed in a dinner suit – black of course. Our dog “Saturday” had been regularly taunted by local squatters to the point when he became vicious to anyone black. Poor D Num was attacked when he turned up at our back door dressed in black. We had to re-home “Saturday” to a Chinese Trade Store owner who wanted a guard dog – perfect match.

Ross Lockyer - We would often sit on the steps of the old house in the Museum compound (Wau Ecology Institute) where they lived, drinking SP, and catching up on the local gossip.

Bulolo Department of Forests’ lik-lik doctor, Peter Woolcott, and his pet kokomo. Bulolo. Photo credit Ross Lockyer. 1968.

The kokomo would hear us from somewhere in the depths of the house and come hopping out in its most peculiar way, which was a bit like a wallaby leaping along. It would park itself on the top step and stare at us with one beady red eye and its head cocked to one side and wait.

Peter usually had a big jar of ripe red coffee beans at hand, and he would throw one up to the bird, which would catch it neatly with the tip of its long beak, flick it back, and swallow it.

Then we would start the count-down, and before we could count to a hundred—plop—the coffee bean, minus its outer red coating, would drop out of the bird’s rear-end onto the floor.

This trick would be repeated ad nauseam until either the bird got bored and hopped off somewhere else or we ran out of beer or coffee beans. This, of course, was all done in the cause of science. We concluded that the kokomo had a straight pipe with no baffles.

Ross Wylie - Near Wau was a Bernice P. Bishop Museum (BPBM) field station whose parent body was in Hawaii and had the charter of collecting, documenting, and storing the biodiversity, culture, and history of the Pacific.

16-foot python at the Bishop Museum compound at Wau. L-R. Peter Shanahan, Museum scientist, Ross Lockyer, Phil Colman, Ross Wylie. 1968. Photo credit Ross Lockyer.

At that field station I met giants of the field in their day, people like Lindsey Gressitt, Joe Szent-Ivany, Joe Sedlacek and Al Samuelson, all world experts in entomology or zoology. It was heady stuff for a new biology graduate. Apart from having their own collectors, the Museum also paid money for specimens brought in by local villagers. For snakes, it was at that time a dollar per foot (length) of snake. Our Forestry Research Station at Bulolo was a sort of branch office of the BPBM and we often received all sorts of specimens from locals looking to make some money. On one such occasion, a large amethystine python in a box turned up on our doorstep; it had apparently been taking chickens at a local village. These pythons are one of the sixth largest snakes in the world and can measure up to 8 m. This one was on the larger end of the scale. Brenton Peters (great friend and colleague) volunteered with me to take the snake to the Museum, and we set off for Wau in Brenton’s VW. En route the snake decided to void its stomach contents and there was this horrendous stench in the car; we drove with the windows open the rest of the way. At the Museum, the usual practice was to weigh such specimens and Peter volunteered. He stood on the scales to establish his weight and then the python was draped around his shoulders while he held its head. The idea of course was that he would then step back on the scales and by subtracting his weight, the weight of the snake could be established. The snake had other ideas. It is a constrictor so of course it began tightening its coils and Peter began to go red and struggled for air. Four of us rushed to grab the tail of the snake and gradually began to unwind it from Peter and eventually returned it to a holding pen. I do not think the weight was ever recorded.

Ken Granger recalls at Fulleborn in 1965 John (Puddles) Lake, caught a large python that had recently devoured a small pig or a sikau (wallaby). He took it with him when they moved on to Awul and then to Rabaul where Puddles stayed at the Comworks mess. Puddles released the python in the ablutions block. All was well until one of the other residents was taking a shower and looked up to come eye to eye with the snake. It was said that he streaked back to his room with a rapidly diminishing foam of soap as his only covering!

Alan Cameron - McAdam had offered anyone who found a Hoop pine greater than 307 feet high a box of expensive whiskey. A couple of us carefully measured a felled Hoop and got to 298 feet, but the top was missing as it was broken off and caught in the crown of the forest.

The diameter at the break point was about 8 inches and we were sure the full height would have exceeded 307 feet. However, without real proof we decided not to make a claim.

80

Alan Cameron - Hoop and Klinkii pine seed collection was interesting, as people from Buka Island were incredible climbers. At a height of about 200 feet one climber jumped from one tree to one nearby so he did not have to climb the next one. I think I nearly had a heart attack. It was interesting that they are classed as the darkest skinned people in the world.

Alan Cameron - Kerevat was an interesting place as there were frequent “gurias.” On one occasion I saw “guria waves” approaching me as I drove a land cruiser along the road north of Kerevat. I just drove on carefully, riding the waves. We were instructed that if a guria hit the house it was essential to hold the refrigerator to make sure the kerosene system was not turned over as it would probably result in the house burning down.

Alan Cameron - Returned to PNG in January 1961. Based at the Brown River forest station.

Controlled forest plantation operations and logging. One interesting experience was a visit by men who claimed to be missionaries. A full sun eclipse was predicted, and they called and told the workforce that it was the end of the world. If they donated any money, they had to the missionaries they would go the heaven, failure to do so they would go to hell. The “Bossboi” told me about it, and I organized a reception. The “bois” held spears and I had a rifle, and I told the fake “missionaries” to get out or I would have them attacked. It worked.

Later I met a plantation owner near Rabaul who had similar experience. He ordered the conmen off his property. They went outside the fence and continued to ask for money, and they refused to leave. He flattened one of them. They reported that to the police and he was tried for assault by a magistrate (ex-Kiap) who had no option but to find him guilty. He was sentenced to jail until the “rising of the court.” The magistrate banged the gavel about a second later and the court rose. Shortest sentence I have ever heard about.

Alan Cameron Brown River burn, October 1967.Photo credit Ken Granger. - Late 1961 I had first ride in a “flying boat” to gain appreciation of a forest area I was to assess in 1962. Went along the south coast and up the Fly River, over the area later turned into a major mining operation.

Landed in a couple of places in the river.

Alan Cameron - Went to West Papua for forest assessment. The team consisted of Forestry, Agricultural and Native Affairs officers. We were to assess forest, agricultural potential and 81

the land use and value. We had been told not to go to the Great Papuan Plateau as we could be killed and eaten. No “expat” had been in that area since 1937. The Kiap was killed and eaten before he got to the Plateau. That happened about 200 miles NW of where we were going.

The program was scheduled to last nearly 6 months. We had been given very old wirelesses to enable communication with our head offices but could not contact anyone. Oddly one of the crew found we could listen to a news session at night. It was spoken in English but was sent from China. At least we did have some idea of what was happening in the world even if the opinions were biased.

Initially we camped near an old oil/gas exploration site on a river east of the Fly. The forest looked very promising. After a while part of the crew went up the river and left the Ag officer and me to finish our job where we were. One of the labour crew had a medical problem and we considered that he needed a penicillin injection. The medical equipment had been split up and we only had very small diameter needles. It took about an hour to apply the injection and I think my hand was tight for a long time. The injection worked after a couple of days.

We then went up the river.

We spent some months in that area, including canoe trips about 100 miles up the river. In the area up to the base of the steep land in the north I assessed forest areas and we drilled soil to assess its condition.

Late in the period the Agricultural officer and I moved up towards the Great Papuan Plateau.

We did not know where the “boundary” was, so we may have gone too far. I suspect we did.

One morning we were closing our camp when I thought some people were in the forest looking at us. We sat down for nearly an hour before 3 men emerged. They had bows and arrows and spears. They slowly came towards us and obviously wondered what we were.

Slowly one came up to me. He carefully touched my nose then my cheek, my hair, and my shirt. From the expression on his face, he obviously wondered what we were. I later learned that they probably believed we were returned bodies of locals who had died in the past. I was not worried that they might attack us as I had a loaded and cocked rifle on a table where I had been sitting. I did not plan to kill them, just fire a few shots to confuse them. We finished giving them a few bush knives and showed them how to use them and sharpen them. Of course, they had never seen metal objects before.

We were sure they had never seen white people before and were convinced they had never heard of white people.

Alan Cameron - In 1964 I had a minor role in organizing better training for local employees.

I proposed to an Officer of the Administers Department (who I knew reasonably well) that the rules for technical training of local staff should be revised and better rules prepared. A meeting, involving about 10 government Departments was set up. The Administrator declared that we did not have the authority to write new rules. My response was, “I have not seen the rules written in the Old Testament so do not believe they were the words of God. People had written the rules, so there was no reason that we could not rewrite them.” He called me a heretic and closed the meeting. However, about a week later I got a call from the 82

Officer who congratulated me for my approach, as it had been decided that we could now rewrite the rules.

Dick McCarthy - my TPNG forest colleagues, led by best friend Rumpole of the Bailey attempted to stop this by dispatching me off to Indonesia in a coffin. AND then at my buck’s night, destroyed my best hat by filling it with wet cow manure from 14 mile.

Chief instigator

Jim Riley - In 1968, I was Fire officer at the Bulolo Forest Station. I took my fire crew and Fire Engine to an area 4-5 kilometres east of Wau, to burn off a plateau area of Themeda grassland in preparation for planting in Pinus species.

There was a deep, steep sided flat-bottomed gully immediately adjacent to the site, on its western side, the side closest to the Wau airstrip. There were some scattered shrub/tree species throughout the area. It became obvious that the area had not been burnt off since the Second World War. The area had a track of sorts around its perimeter. The fire crew were all locals, who as we know are pyromaniacs! Once I set them off ring firing around the edge of the track, there was no stopping them. The fire had not long got underway when small arms ammunition started exploding. I was standing on the edge of the plateau when a cartridge exploded near to me. When something struck my ankle, I realized that because the projectile (bullet) is heavy and the cartridge case much lighter, the case flies and the projectile does not go too far. But standing there feeling very exposed and having heard that unexploded bombs had detonated during cutover burn-offs in preparation for Hoop and Klinkii plantings, I decided to scurry off the edge of the plateau into a more sheltered position, just in case.

I think Neville Howcroft must have been supervising the Pinus planting on the area, as a few days later he told me that bones had been brought to the surface, by the mattocks of the tree planters, so we went up to have a look around.

We found many foxholes dug along the edge of the plateau above the deep gully. There was much Japanese Arisaka 6.5 mm ammunition lying around, some 7.7mm "Woodpecker" (Jap machine gun) ammo in a brass horizontal clip (I still have some in my cartridge collection, along with a Japanese grenade without the guts in it!), a couple of Arisaka rifles with the wood rotted off. Jap helmets full of bullet holes. Aussie/American grenades pushed into the ground with the levers held in place by very crumbly/ rusty pins. Interesting 3-inch diameter 83

holes going down vertically about 18 inches into the ground where no doubt unexploded mortar bombs resided! By this time, we were tiptoeing around the site! Also, many .303, .45 ACP (Tommy gun) and 9mm (Owen gun) empty cases lying around. There were Japanese graves there as the bones attested. The planting gang's boss-boi was using an unexploded mortar bomb as a pillow in his compound hut!

All this piqued my interest. I endeavored to find out exactly what happened there although the signs made it obvious!

Tom Lega was the BGD/ CNGT town manager at Bulolo. I knew he had been a DredgeMaster before and after the War and had spent the war in the area. Tom was a man of few words. I explained to him what had happened. He only said that there had been a bit of a stoush there during the war. A few evenings later, Tom arrived up at my Donga with an Australian War Bulletin that explained all about the "Battle for Wau". He opened a bit then and I found his story combined with the War Bulletin fascinating. So, with the fear of boring you all I will tell what I learned!

Tom was in the 2/3rd independent Co., which seemed to be a Commando type unit. He was stationed at Salamaua when the Japs landed there. Salamaua is a long narrow isthmus that had a row of houses along it then, where the Aussie troops lived. There was a sentry stationed at a house, at the end farthest from the hills. There was an old Austin car there that was extremely hard to start. Someone in this house went outside for a pee and pointed out to the sentry some shadowy shapes out on the water. They ascertained it was Japanese ships unloading troops. The old Austin started first go and they barreled along the road raising the alarm. As the first Jap came in the front door of the last house, the last Aussie went out the back door and they all took to the hills. They set up Observation Posts and had ambushes set on both the "Black Cat" and "Skin Diwai" tracks, which were used for the 3-day trek to the Wau goldfields. Tom said that he and another chap captured a Jap who was working in a quarry there and took him to Wau for interrogation. Tom was a big man that I would not argue with!

The Japs sent troops inland along the tracks and were ambushed. The Aussie troops counted 161 Japanese killed and wounded being carried back to Salamaua. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation kindly broadcast this information on the radio, "by troops from inland bases"! So, the Japs decided they should wipe out these inland bases.

They sent 5,000 troops in along the two tracks but knew there would be ambushes set on them somewhere. They had an old German map of the area and nearing Wau, it showed a survey line running down a ridge and through the village of Wandumi, so took this route.

(There is a monument situated at the northeastern corner of the Wau airstrip, commemorating the troops that died at Wandumi.) The army knew these 5,000 troops were on their way but had minimal troops at Wau. The army had all its men and equipment and planes at Port Moresby, but the weather had been clogged in for 3 days and could not get them across.

There was an Australian Company of 100 troops dug in, in ambush at Wandumi. This company held up the Japanese advance for a day, before they were surrounded and wiped out to the last man.

The next day, the Japanese attacked the Wau airstrip on two sides. (They had intended to surround it completely) They opened the attack at 9 am. The weather was still clogged in, but at 9:20 the weather lifted and the DC3's started landing and kept taxing as the troops jumped out and ran to the edge of the field, then took off for more troops.

(In 1975 or 1976, an AusAid Representative to PNG executive was at the Forestry College.

He asked to be taken up to Wau. I ran him up and as we drove up the road on the eastern side of the strip, he said he was there during the battle, pointed out where he jumped out of the DC3 and where he ran to and started shooting at the Japs! Interesting.)

At 1:30 in the afternoon, DC3's brought in 25 pounder artillery pieces, the Engineers assembled them while under fire, wheeled them to the perimeter and they started shelling the Japs over open sights at 200 yards! These turned the tide of the battle, and the japs were pushed back to the plateau and dug in for a last stand, where I burnt the area off. The War Bulletin mentioned an area they called "The slaughter yards". The 25 pounders zeroed in on a concentration of troops, which may have been a field hospital. As far as I could determine it may have been in the deep gully adjacent to the burn-off area.

Some interesting facts were that 254 DC3's landed at Wau over 4 days and there were 28 parked on the strip at one time! For those that know the strip, where the hell would you put 28 of them? For those that do not know the strip, it is on a considerable slope. I never measured the angle or took the percentage slope, but I know you must be in 2nd gear in a Series 2A Land Rover to drive up the road beside it.

In 1975 an Australian Aid to PNG executive visited BFC and before he left, asked to be taken up to Wau. I took him up in a Toyota and as we drove up the road beside the strip, he suddenly pointed and said, "That’s where the DC3 I was in landed and I ran over to that spot there, and stared shooting at the Japs over there”. Was quite interesting.

In 1973 I was working for Groome and Associates, Forestry Consultants, looking at the Kumusi Export Logging area. I met Chris Done at Popondetta and we took a party of Japs in two vehicles around the Kumusi forest area. We ended up at Kokoda and had a look at the Museum, etc. As usual with Jap parties only one appeared to speak English. Coming down the road from Kokoda, one old fellow in the back suddenly said; "This is a lot different to the last time I came down this Road!"

In Madang I cannot recall when, asked a Jap Forestry type if he had been to Madang before?

There was a long pause before he said "once, many years ago!" Enough said, but interesting at the time.

Jim Riley - For something to do while there and because of my interest in sawmilling I did a mill study on Wewak Timber's mill that had been recently set up there and was milling only Kwila. The operation was so new the skidder was pulling directly to the mill!

I know someone in the Survey team one day said, "I've found it, the only big tree in the valley that we did the TRP for." Everyone may know this, but I'll reiterate what I found out.

Both times in 1897 and 1937, after 3-year droughts, when the Gogol River completely dried up (normally 180-200 inches a year) and the locals had to shift to the hills for water. That's "Believe it or not " territory, bush fires ravaged most of the valley, killing the forests. So, at 85

the time of the 1970 Survey the regenerated forest trees were only 33 years old. No wonder most trees were of a smaller diameter.

The skidder was not just pulling in freshly felled trees. It was also pulling in Kwila logs that had been on the ground for at least 33 years, (if not 73 years!)

The interesting thing was that the sapwood had completely rotted off the logs that had been on the ground all those years. The heartwood was as sound as the day they died. These logs had less "shake" in them than the freshly felled trees. The main factor of interest was without the sapwood there was no "tension" in the flitches as they came off the horizontal breakdown chainsaw. The first flitches to come off freshly felled, complete sapwood logs with tension, imitated bananas, with the remaining baulks moving in the opposite direction. The net result was about 50% recovery from the "old dead logs" and an average of about 33% off freshly felled ones!

Jim Riley - In 1982, Wewak Timbers engaged Fletcher Consulting Services to do a Harvesting Plan for their North Coast Export Logging Operation. I did the Consultancy for them. I stayed at a motel near the lighthouse in Madang. Cannot recall the motel name.

(Maybe Lighthouse Motel.) They also took diving charters to a shot down American plane that was accessible to divers on a reef at 100 feet. The plane still had the skeleton of the pilot at the controls, with his Thermos and other gear with him. The site was by then whatever they call what is prohibited to touch in PNG. The plane's identification Number. was visible and I presume the American Military had been notified of its existence and location. They told me they had recently had an American guest who wished to visit the site. After the dive he thanked them very much and said he had always wondered where his father had ended up!

Must have been an emotional experience!

Jim Riley - Huxley Street Bulolo was named after a man Huxley, in a tent, killed by the only bomb dropped on Bulolo. Did you ever see the RSJ power pole, near the bakery 50 yards or so from where it landed, where the shrapnel from the bomb went through it? Several holes through the 1/2-inch steel. The smallest is about 1/16th of an inch diameter. I always wondered how such a small bit of metal could go through such a thick piece of steel! Was not till Hermann Kloeti and I joined an explosive course the Diploma students did that I found out why. Cortex and TNT burn (explode) at a rate of 23,500 feet a second, 10 times faster than a.303 bullet travels! As the Ministry of Transport says. Speed kills!

Ross Lockyer – Bob Lyons and I sunk many beers together and "Master Kunda" as he was known by the locals, while he was a Kiap in the Highlands, was an interesting bloke to talk to. He was a master at cooking rice, as I guess he lived on it as a Kiap for four years. He obviously got sick of the soggy rice mess I would serve up and after a visit or two he said, "I'll cook the rice"! I was extremely impressed. Did not wash the rice. Put it in a pot, put water up to the first finger joint, put it on the stove with the lid on. When he heard it boil, he tuned the stove down and we retied to the veranda and sunk another SP or two. He suddenly said, "the rice is cooked" and took it off the stove without looking at it. Of course, it tumbled out of the pot in individual cooked grains!

Bob Lyons camped out in the jungle somewhere north of Bulolo in 1969 for about a week wandering about through miles of bush surveying for klinkii pine and other hardwood resources. He was Forestry Dept from Lae. Photo credit Ross Lockyer Bush Boss at CNGT Bob Thistlethwaite - But in all the travel I did during my time there and subsequently as a consultant, only once when I was really concerned on a flight from Moresby to Madang on a Fokker, when in the Okapa area the pilot realised he was flying up the wrong valley for his approach to Goroka. A cliff appeared ahead and disturbingly close. He stood the plane almost on its tail, hung on the props and side-slipped out of danger. We exited the aircraft at Goroka a bit white around the gills, decided we would stay in Goroka for the night and forget flying on to Madang. I did not know that the Fokker was so versatile but subsequently learned that it was originally designed for military operations. The pilot was of course feted by all but fit enough to fly on to Madang in the morning.

Bob Thistlethwaite - There was a pilot strike, and we were stranded on Daru Island and lucky to get a small room at the Daru Hotel which was adequate, with good plain food and a congenial host. There was not much to see on Daru then except it is massive tarmac, and after a morning sampling liquid refreshment we searched for the plug which in our state we were told existed to keep Daru Island afloat. But no luck! Our publican had a strong focus on the till during this bonanza for him as many people were trapped. The influx was such that the stock in the private bar was rapidly depleted, and when all the beer was gone, we gradually worked our way through all other offerings on the bar shelves. Rum and Scotch disappeared quickly, and anything else, with one lone survivor on Sunday, a bottle of Tullamore Dew, which delighted KJ as an emblem of Ireland. We cuddled that for as long as a small bottle takes and then were forced to turn to the wine collection in the public bar, and a most impressive collection of wine labels were displayed. Wine, at least the cheaper variety, was not really our tipple, but when in Rome…!

The Daru Pub was locally called the Cerberus Arms, because all the crockery and cutlery were branded with “HMAS Cerberus.” How, we did not ask. I decided to do a little exploration of the hotel and in a shed tucked away under a couple of trees at the back I found a hotel employee beavering away filling bottle. He had two huge casks from which to choose, both branded with Portuguese markings, one containing red wine and the other white – perhaps emulating Mateusz Rose and Casals Inhos – but unfortunately not the same calibre.

The bottles were already labelled with what they had originally contained, and it was interesting to see a white wine in a bottle labelled Beaujolais. To feed the thirsty throng in the public bar, waiters moved through selling fried fish heads, some with backbones attached. A roaring trade and the kina were rolling in. Tuesday came, the strike was off, and we gratefully boarded the flight to Moresby.

Ross Wylie - Every trip I made in New Guinea was a bit of an adventure but none with so many twists and turns as the work trip to Kui on the Morobe coast in 1970. Part of my job was to conduct surveys of timber borers at various logging areas in forests and at sawmills around the country. In February 1970, Brenton who had joined our forest entomology unit the previous December, Neil Gough who was working at the Bishop Museum Field Station at Wau, Teng Arang a labourer with our section, and myself set out on a trip to Kui to collect insects in a logging area there. We took a lugger out of Lae and set off. All went well until we were just off Salamaua and then the rudder seized, and the boat began to go around in circles.

A couple of the crew went below to make repairs but after a few hours of hammering and banging there was no progress, and we began to make escape plans. One was to use the foamfilled seat cushions to float and paddle our way to the beach at Salamaua which seemed so close. What gave us pause was when a crewman who was fishing to while away the time pulled in an exceptionally large fish but the head only – the rest had been taken by a shark.

So, we waited. Eventually, repairs were made, and we resumed our journey with no further drama. Kui was a great success in terms of insects caught. The most spectacular find was a fallen tree with scores of the giant longicorn Batocera wallacei crawling on its surface. We filled all our collecting jars and containers and then wrapped up more of the beetles in our handkerchiefs and Brenton’s terry-towelling hat. Most of these beetles made it back to the lab intact and I still have a few in my personal collection at Kenmore.

Then came the return journey from Kui to Lae. Given our experience on the lugger down, we decided to get a speedboat back and made the booking via the logging company’s radio at Kui. The speedboat duly arrived complete with captain and mate who both looked a little worse for wear; they had been partying the night before in Lae apparently. We loaded our gear and set off. The waves were larger than usual, and the captain informed us there was a cyclone heading our way. The speedboat was meant to plane over the water and the captain tried to get it to lift but we kept slapping into the waves not over them. We were all hanging on for grim death with our arms nearly jolting out of their sockets every time we hit a wave. I remember my feet left the floor of the boat several times as I was jerked upward. Mercifully, it stopped when the motor gave up the ghost, with something shaken loose or broken. The mate opened a hatch under one of the seats, crawled beneath and started tinkering with the motor. All we could see of him was the lower half of his body protruding from beneath a seat.

The boat bobbed around at the mercy of the waves, a recipe for seasickness. Sure enough, the captain ran to the side and was extremely ill, no doubt a hangover from yesterday’s big night out. He took no further part in proceedings until towards the end. So, we bobbed around in the boat, trying not to be seasick and endeavouring to protect ourselves from sunburn as well by putting our shirts over our heads. We were constantly scanning for other boats and saw a freighter in the distance; we signalled frantically, waving shirts and white insect nets but it sailed serenely by. Bummer, to say the least.

In the meantime, the mate was still under the seat and there had been no movement for quite a while. We prodded him gently but no reaction, like the captain he was sleeping it off. So, here we were, drifting in the Huon Gulf and a cyclone on the way and no help in sight. It was 12th February 1970, my 25th birthday. Then we saw a timber barge, making its way to Lae and not too far away from us. Neil dipped a rag into the petrol tank and draped it around his rubber foot thong, attached it to the pole of a long-handle insect net and set it alight. It sent up a plume of smoke which thankfully was seen, and the barge altered its course. Our captain at this stage suddenly woke up and decided to take charge. When the barge got close, he threw over a tow rope and then tied it to the transom of our boat. Big mistake. When the barge took up the slack it tore off the transom and then the tow had to be re-established. Prudently, we transferred across to the barge and completed our journey back to Lae with no further drama.

Ross Wylie - Prior to the establishment of the forest entomology research unit at Bulolo in 1966, only five species of pinhole and shot hole borers (Platypodinae and Scolytidae), which are important pests of trees and log timber, had been named in the Bulolo area. Since then, another 403 species have been discovered during studies by those in the unit. In 1973-1974 alone, 201 species were recorded in the Sticky trap No.3 and billet study at Upper Manki Logging Area, Bulolo by Barry, Peter, and me. When combined, the number of Platypodinae and Scolytinae species (408) in the Bulolo area probably makes it the richest for such a small area on earth.

Gary Archer - While working as a Technical Assistant in 1964 I had noticed that in steep country the actual number of trees planted per hectare was often more than prescribed. This was because planting crews often laid their measuring rods along the slope rather than holding them horizontally when spacing the seedlings. While working on the Bulolo plantation inventory I compared results calculated from the tree counts along the rows with results calculated from the known-area sample plots alone. I discovered that applying tree counts based on the assumed rather than actual tree spacing led to an overall 5 percent underestimate in stocking. The Bulolo District Forest Officer John Godlee was very happy to adjust the inventory results upwards by 5 percent based on this finding.

Jim Riley - My first visit to the Gogol valley was in 1970. At the BFC, I had trained a group of Technical Assistants in Forest Mensuration specifically for the Gogol TRP Forest Survey.

I accompanied them to the base camp.

While there, I flew up the valley by helicopter, where survey crews were operating to check on the effectiveness of the personnel I had trained. We overflew a twin-engine American bomber (a Boston?), that appeared to be in perfect condition. The stars were faded but still visible on the wings. We flew low over it but did not find a suitable landing place. It looked in perfect condition and appeared to have landed on a flat area that must have been recently burnt off by the locals at the time. I discussed it with the Madang DFO Docca Reid. He visited it during the Timber Rights Purchase and said the Guns were all still cocked, and it was completely undamaged. He said a local mission had recently (then) taken the wheels off it.

John Davidson (RAAF historian) provided the following information re the above wreck. It is a Douglas A-200G-DO Havoc.

Below is an RAAF photograph of the wreck taken not long after it force-landed. The aircraft with wheels up remained intact and the crew of three survived and escaped through the open hatches (two hatches - pilot and navigator from the long front hatch, and gunner from the hatch behind the gun turret).

It was a Douglas A-20G-20-DO Havoc serial 42-86786 of the US 312th Bomb Group, 388th Bomb Squadron with nose art “The Hell’n Pelican II” that was forced down due to bad weather on 16 April 1944 during a raid mounted from Nadzab to Japanese targets in Hollandia (now Jayapura in the Indonesian Province of Papua).

It was one of 37 USAAF aircraft lost or crashed that one Sunday afternoon during a severe New Guinea weather front as they tried to return from Hollandia to Nadzab. None was lost to enemy action during the raid! The story has been told only relatively recently in a book “Black Sunday” (Michael Claringbould 2000).

Though not an RAAF aircraft, Douglas A20-G Havoc 42-86786 was among several wrecks recovered from PNG in 1984 and restored at RAAF Amberly, Queensland. Although owned

by PNG (by agreement reached to allow its recovery, and eventually to be returned to PNG) it is currently on display at the RAAF Amberly Aviation Heritage Centre.

Douglas Havoc 42-86786 was separated into manageable parts (engines, horizontal tailplanes, outer wing panels, nose) and lifted out in several flights by RAAF Chinook A15-005 on 1 October 1984. This was the final lift of the remaining stripped fuselage section.

The restoration was completed in 1996. This is the restored aircraft at the RAAF Amberly Aviation Heritage Centre. (Photograph RAAF).

John Davidson (RAAF historian) The aircraft in your photograph is an A-20G-10-DO Havoc tail serial no 42-54088 (the first and last digit are missing; the 4 (first digit of year of manufacture “42") because it was on the fabric covering of the rudder and long since decayed, which is unlikely, as tail serials were usually not painted on the moveable surfaces because these were often replaced in service, or more usually not painted on at the aircraft at all, and the 8 towards the leading edge may have been cut off by souvenir hunters). Only “54088 (89th BS, 3rd BG) shot down Jan 7, 1944, Arawe” fits your location given for the wreck pictured. From the diary of Sgt Adrian S. Bottge, 3rd BG, 89th SQ: “Friday - 7 January 1944 … One of our planes crash-landed in the sea up north. At first it was reported that our Navy shot him down, but actually he lost his bearings in the smoke screen that indicated the area to be strafed and hit a treetop.;” PNG Museum Aircraft Status Card - A20G Havoc 7 January 1944 (date matches but does not mention pilot or serial number).

Joe Havel - Not all my second term was equally exciting. I combined the supervision of work in the plantations with research into the early stages of klinkii silviculture and made good progress. It was during this term that the Director Jim McAdam died of a heart attack.

His replacement was Bill Suttie, who was a Queenslander of similar vintage to McAdam, but of different management style. He had a strong belief in the “in vino veritas” (there is truth in the vine) Roman style of management, that is that when drunk, people say things they would not say when sober. As a non-drinker I had nothing to fear from it, as I was still sober at the end of the parties when he was not, but I used to be quizzed by him the next morning as to 91

what he had said. Towards the end of the term, Mr Suttie informed me that I would be sent for a limited period to Rabaul as acting Regional Officer for the Islands Region.

Joe Havel with students studying botanical specimens at the PNG Forestry College Bulolo. Photograph 1964 TPNG Forests. On one occasion I dined on pork and sauerkraut at a Roman Catholic mission’s Ulamona sawmill at the foot of the Father Volcano whilst solving the mysteries of negative log volumes caused by the high degree of utilisation of hollow kamarere logs.

The net volume was arrived at by deducting the squared volume of the hollow from the round volume of the log.so that if the hollow was big enough, the net volume was negative. We agreed to ignore such logs. Because I would not share the German monks’ homebrew beer brew, I was suspected of being an Irishman, which did not match up with Irishmen’s reputation in Australia.

Another stress source was a major lease proposed for the Cape Hoskins area. Because of its size and international potential, it was largely dealt with by the Head Office, but I did inspect the area briefly with the assessment crew. I mentioned to the Director my experience with hollow logs utilised by the Ulamona sawmill, because like that area, the kamarere stands at Cape Hoskins were also on volcanic ashes and likely to have the same problems. The director replied that he worked in the area during the war and did not share my fears. The Deputy Director did share those fears and when he took over the project during the Director’s long service leave, he sent a utilisation crew that felled a lot of the kamarere trees and found them hollow. The project was downgraded.

Joe Havel - On another occasion, after having inspected a lease on Bairiman River, on the south coast of New Britain I slept in a house kiap built on the banks of the river. It had extremely high posts and difficult access via a precarious ladder. I was woken up at dawn by a yelp under the house and a big splash in the river. I later found out from the lululai (village headman) that a man had come to get water from the river and ran into a crocodile that was coming to feast on village pigs. They both turned back to where they came from. The evening before I had cooked my meal right on the banks of the river where the croc came out of the water. Until then, I believed that crocs did not like running rivers with clear water. The high house posts and steep ladders made a lot more sense in the morning.

Ken Granger advised that life was never dull in the survey camp.

John (Puddles) Lake was fond of catching snakes and anything else that he could get a reaction from us with. He had caught a small snake that he put in the empty 44-gallon drum we used for catching rainwater and the next day he caught a baby crocodile that also went into the drum. It was said that there were no venomous snakes on Bougainville, and it was a bit of a surprise the next morning when both reptiles were found dead. Gerd did a fine job of skinning the little croc and when he got back to Port Moresby taxidermizing it in a very realistic way.

John Lake thanks Ken Granger for his fantastic photos and his still more incredible memory. John has similar recollections to the fishing at that camp. John caught a bigger fish than the Butbut. It was a 4 to 5 ft Barracuda.

Not only did John have to contend with the fish but he had to argue with his companion (Keith Pearson) who did not want him to bring it into the boat. Da Fish in question. Photo credit Ken Granger.

Ken Granger described the Arawe camp was very well set up for the shower and fishing. L to R. Granger’s mackerel.

Ken Granger recalls being told that Puddles was in the cohort at the Forestry College in Canberra that substituted the street sign for Constitution Avenue to “Constipation Avenue.” It was still in place a week later until someone tipped off the “Canberra Times.”
