Chinese New Year in Lae, 1968 and 1970
Who remembers New Year in Lae when the dancing dragon would visit each tradestore and weave his magic to the thundering roar of enormous strings of fireworks, and the beating of drums from the support vehicles.
The courage the young men of that time displayed when dancing under the fireworks still sticks in my memory. Does this still happen each year?

Immediately after the fireworks 1968.
I vividly remember the smell of the fireworks, the great clouds of smoke, and scavenging through the piles of red paper for unexploded crackers. Last edited by Scott Martin; 13-06-2003 at 03:49 PM.

What street is this
Quote:
Another item that may give us a lead is the vertical sign in the distance, to the right of the right-hand building. What is that? Finally, the road appears not to be sealed ... I want to say it's near Tommy Seeto's (corner of Air Corps Road and Mangola Street and opposite the (relocated) market), but I'm not convinced...

Lae 1970.
I think the Food Bar on the left used to be Whitton's (or Whitten's) Store a very, very long time ago. Last edited by Scott Martin; 19-06-2003 at 03:08 PM.

Amazing how close the public stood to the fireworks. Last edited by Scott Martin; 19-06-2003 at 03:10 PM.
