Not a Poor Man's Field The New Guinea Goldfields to 1942 : an Australian Colonial History
Seller: Oak Books, Ouyen, VIC, Australia
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. "In the steep jungles of pre-war New Guinea miners battled disease, the elements, Australian administration and sometimes local villagers, to exploit some of the world's richest, most inaccessible goldfields. Colourful pioneers were followed by companies challenging the obstacles in ways never before tried on such a scale. Daring pilots in New Guinea in the 30s flew more freight than airlines in America or Europe, their aircraft ranging from plywood biplanes to giant Junkers G31s. Everything from racehorses and false teeth to massive dredging machinery was lifted over towering ranges, often to hair-raising aerodromes. Japanese invaders in 1942-43 destroyed most of New guinea's records. Michael Waterhouse reconstructs the period from diverse and often unexpected sources. The perspective of local people, many of whom had never seen white men, complements that of an army of indentured workers, drawn from traditional villages into an economic system beyond their comprehension. A racially segregated way of life and the lacklustre performance of Australia's colonial administrators form the backdrop to this dramatic, little known story - a portrait of unforgettable contrasts." --Flyleaf.
