A place we once called home
A Town called Rabaul - We once called Home
In Our Hearts we still call Rabaul Home.The Time! Oh so long ago, we are the children of Old New Guinea. We are the sons & daughters of the expatriate, the ex kiap's the policeman the government workers, and everyone else who lived in Rabaul in the 50’ & 60s.. The Past years have not been kind to Nova Britain.The Land of the Toli, the beauty the wonderful harbour the lifestyle situated in a Calder
The Township of Rabaul 1960
We
found the old Japanese wrecked planes, the guns and so much war material in the bush we explored the caves and swan at the
Submarine Base, We sold brass to Arthur Brown the scrap metal dealer for 2/6 a lb, we enjoyed the free and easy lifestyle

We were
all the kids of Rabaul, the Toli kids the Chinese kids us kids and all the rest
of the kids, we ran free.
Well now the best part of the Town is gone and we have all grown, some have even passed away .
Rabaul, as it was we will remember, our friends who have moved on are always in our hearts and minds,
