Hi Aussie...Yes I have checked all photos but the area I am after does not appear.Some images show The Travelodge at one end of Mango Av and The Hamamas at the other but central Mango Av (CBD) housed three banks,movie theatre,restaurants and other small shops as well as Burns Philp,Steamships and Carpenters Department store.It may have been roped off at the time the other photos were taken but if you dont ask he question one cant expect an answer.I admire what you are doing and although I only came across your site recently I will be an active participant.I spent 20 years in PNG (1961-1981) and had the
opportunity to travel the country extensively.I have a lot of photos which I intend to share but it will take a while to sort things out.Kind Regards John Smith
