Doing Laundry in Rabaul Harbour

Rabaul was no different than any other place in PNG. The locals made do as best they could under their particular circumstances. Whether it was washing in a river outside the capital city of Port Moresby, or in the harbour at Rabaul, it seemed that the women did what they had to do to keep the family unit running.

As far as the men of the family went, in Port Moresby, all liqour and beer stores were closed on the Thursday night before the men were paid on Friday, so maybe the wives would have some chance of getting a bit of their paycheque!
