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.

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

This is Sir Micheal Bromley the Legend. He is still around
