    The Baiune River is one of the tributaries flowing into the Watut River, and it had been dammed many years previously to provide for hydro-electric power. This photo shows the interior of the Lower Baiune Power Station with its five 750 kWatt General Electric generators that had been installed in 1946 to supply the gold dredges. The company was now owned by logging interests and was being used to supply the lumber mills. This privately-owned generating station was interconnected with the Elcom system out of Lae in case they needed extra power or in the event of a drought. The problem they were experiencing was preventing them from connecting to our Elcom system, so we brought a spare device with us from Lae and fixed things up for them. The second photo shows the inside of a second power house further up the mountain side, the Upper Baiune, which was also operated by Harry and his staff. This was also built in 1946, using Westinghouse generators.

    Oh it was a great job, getting to fly all over this amazing country and meet with both the locals and expatriates who had been here for years. I knew I had it good flying off to the coral atolls, volcanic harbours, rain forests, snow-capped mountains and wide, lazy rivers to deal with whatever the problem was this week! Here, I am just enjoying being in this 'off-the-beaten-path' part of Papua New Guinea before we head back to Moresby for the next assignment.
