Perspectives on the happenings in our days and weeks
Remember the huge tunnels dug into the cliffs around Rabaul harbour by the Japs' slave labour.They forced native Tolais along with Aussie POWs to do the back-breaking digging and tunnelling work.Then they'd run landing barges and other smaller marine vessels into the safe tunnels, away from the Allied bombing raids.We saw one derelict barge in its final resting place in the 70s before we went pinis (finish) in Dec. 1976..
