(1) View of cultivation patch at the camp of Ivan Paterson and Ken MacDonald, formerly of Oamaru, now on the Upper Watut goldfield, New Guinea, with pineapples and vegetables in the foreground and bread fruit tree and banana palm on left. All kinds of fruit and vegetables grow luxuriantly in the rich soil, in what is described as the “finest climate in the world” on the inland tablelands of New Guinea—a striking contrast to the fever-stricken areas around the coast. (2) A Junkers ’plane, carrying stores and supplies, passing over the cultivation patch on its way to the landing ground at Mr Paterson’s camp, Upper Watut. (3) The type of New Guinea natives (cannibals) encountered near the inland goldfields. They are very shy of the camera, and it is difficult to secure photographs of them. (4) Landing supplies and stores at Paterson’s landing ground from the Junkers ’plane. (5) The aerodrome at Wau, the headquarters of the New Guinea Airways Company, showing two Junkers and a Moth machine, used for the conveyance of passengers and supplies from the coast to the goldfields.'
