A real man and a true Papua New Guinean. I remember Andy Flower, my mom worked for him as his hous girl in Hagen and he would take me (a tiny little girl) to the market to buy wild fruit for his cassowary. He had a real big one in his yard. A kind hearted soul, Andy Flower! Thank you for sharing your story, Sir.
Please if not yet someone need to erite his autobiograhy....hes knows so much that we need to know n serve as lessons for us n our kids..god bless and protect sir bromley
I was a little kid in the early 70s in Ialibu & alot of our young men were taken away in truck loads to work the plantations in New Britain, Bougainville & Central Province. I was close to jumping on the truck but decided against it after my late dad pulled me out of the truck so that I could stay at school. I am thankful of my dad because I did extemely well in my education journey. I was fortunate to gain a scholarship to NZ and decided to make NZ my home. Have 4 children and have all gone on to uni here & have good jobs.
In those days in early 1970, I was the Cadet Plantation Assistant Manager in Gunanur Plantation near Kokopo, EAST New Britain Province, owned by the W.R.Carpenters and under its Plantation Division called Copra Products Limited (CPL). My tasks were mainly supervise the National Labour Scheme Labour's which the vedio by Sir Michael Bromley mentioned about the Highlannders they sent to the Coastal and Island plantations.
@nicodemussimbak9063 Some of my young tribesmen from Ialibu were sent to work the plantations in Rabaul around your time. This was nothing but slavery, which no one should be proud of.
Growingup in Hagen town, brings memories of Bromley n Manton in 70s n 80s also a Brown Higney shop in Chuave next to Collins n leahy in the early late sixties and seventies. Brings tears when. SIR MENTIONS ALL tHese names. Never seen him inperson thanks for the previlege, can now put names to faces. Thanks
I met Sir Mic Bromley many years ago when we were doing a documentary video of the Russian helicopter crew salvaging a sunken yacht on a reef at Losuia. trobriand island. Great guy.😊
Thankyou sir..brings back memories of stories my late dad told me of growing up as a native kid coming to terms with white skin folks..many hilarious moments
Thanks for add in Ng value to our mother land. I got an AIDAB scholarship and went on to study at The Southport School, 1995 - 1997, Biddle House..Thank you for you contribution to PNG..You are local you must know..🙏🙏👍
When I was in Lae, I used to work in his fishing company called MAPS tuna Limited. I left the company in 2002. I think ''MAPS'' stands for these four persons: ''M'' for Michael Broomley, ''A'' for Andrew Harvey, ''P'' for Peter Hickey, and ''S'' for Simon Korowe.
Very inspiring👍🙏 if you do have some pictures back in the 70's before independence, please share. Would love to know what it looked like back in those days😍
Sir thanks for this history lesson. These stories need to be recorded and taught in schools today. How many of our students and public know of such history? We study foreign history that has no relevance to PNG's pre and post independence history.
Very interesting and commendable how some of these expats, whom are now Papua New Guineans anyway, had a hand in the countries economic development Pre-independance and still stayed Post- independence.Again very commendable 👏👏👏👍
