Colonists For a Day
1994
Synopsis
Papua New Guinea was Australia’s brief and only attempt at colonisation, lasting from 1906 to 1975. It was marked by the colonists’ incompetence and inexperience and the inevitable cultural clashes between the tribal clans and their administrators. This is a fascinating account of Australia’s role in the development of the nation of Papua New Guinea featuring eyewitness accounts from both sides and archival footage.
