Long Boat was my favourite to fish from although I understand they're building a new fleet of custom fishing platforms. Trip of a Lifetime!

Floating_Medic Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 these 2 pics are the only digital ones i have of my time i served in Bougainville, east of PNG with the Peace Monitoring Group (Aus Army) Fishing off the docks meant bringing up 25-40kg Gummy sharks, 10 Kilo Red Emporors, huge bat fish, and other mystery fish that would snap hootchie chord (green nylon military chord with breaking strains over the tonne) that i would never get to see what they were. The chord would be tied to the shipping bollards, you would see them go tawt, the mystery fish would swim off hooked up, the line diametre would decrease, then twang, they would just pop! Trolling off the HMAS Brolga would see sailfin, marlin, spanish maks, tuna, baracoota, barracouda ect being caught like yakkas are caught here! I could talk for hours about that trip, i got extra pay, a great tan and a medal for serving my country too!!! Me on the beach of Bonnydoon with Arawa Bay behind me. The best photo i have ever taken, as we were leaving the bay on the brolga, these dolphins were no more than a metre in length!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamtime Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 these 2 pics are the only digital ones i have of my time i served in Bougainville, east of PNG with the Peace Monitoring Group (Aus Army) As an ex expatriate that spent 10 years in PNG, I have great memories as well. Here's some not so great news that the Floating Medic may be interested in. Postcourier, 3 April 2008 Women, children missing TEN women and an unspecified number of children are still missing after the vehicle they were travelling in was ambushed along the Buin to Arawa highway on Tuesday morning. According to the driver of the vehicl, who was also wounded in the ambush, he was transporting the women from the Oria area to Arawa for medical checks with specialist doctors who had come from Rabaul. “There were about 20 of Koike’s men lined up on the side of the road and they just opened fire on the truck-load of civilian, mostly women and children and cocoa and copra farmers,” the driver told the Post-Courier. One passenger was killed instantly and fell off the moving vehicle. The victim was identified as Wilson Kauori in his 40s from Oria. The driver (name withheld) said that he continued driving away from the ambush area until the vehicle stopped about 200m away from the scene. He said the vehicle stopped because the tyres had been damaged by bullets and most of the survivors fled into the jungle pursued by Damien Koike’s soldiers who also set fire to the vehicle. He said that about five people were wounded including himself, however 10 women and a number of children were still unaccounted for and are believed to be in hiding. The wounded were transported to Buka hospital. Meanwhile, a WILMO commander in Buka condemned the attack on the women and children and said that ABG had failed and it had no choice but to call in the Australian-led regional assistance mission to Bougainville. “President Kabui we hold you responsible for all the deaths that have occurred in Wisai over the past three years that Koike and his faction reigned here. We complied with the weapons disposal program and surrendered our arms to be destroyed but the government has failed to provide security for us in South Bougain-ville. We have no choice but to take up arms in self defence,” the commander said. He claimed Koike and his men had no code of conduct in regard to rules of engagement in war. = = = = = = Me’ekamui concerned THE Me’ekamui Defence Force is concerned about the massive buildup of arms in South Bougainville, commander Chris Uma has said. He said in a statement that there had been suspicious looking fly-overs by aircraft on Bougainville heading towards the southern region of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville. Mr Uma said the Autonomous Bougainville Government should explain whose aircraft had been making suspicious flights towards south Bougainville where members of the Wisai Liberation Movement had been in armed conflict with another faction. He distanced his Me’ekamui Defence Force from the Wisai incidents, saying that the Me’ekamui Defence Force he led had forgotten about guns and was working on rebuilding Bougainville in partnership with the ABG. Mr Uma also said that the situation would be avoided if there was strong political leadership on Bougainville. “The current situation in Buin according to Me’ekamui is believed to be influences of the people in the top bracket of Government who still pursue power in politics on Bougainville and Papua New Guinea,” he said. He said clan chiefs in South Bougainville should take ownership of the problems and talk to the conflicting factions so that an amicable solution could be found. Mr Uma said the Buin chiefs should also not allow ex-combatants from other parts of Bougain-ville to take sides with the factions in dispute as this would just prolong the conflict.
