ADVENTURE IN THE PACIFIC
AUSTRALIAN journalist Osmat White first went to New Guinea in the early nineteen-thirties. He travelled far into the interior with Government patrols and prospecting expeditions, and then moved on through the old Dutch East Indies, Malaya, Burma, Siatn and Cambodia to the China Coast, "studying people ard country," he says, "miore from the point of view of the tramp than the tourist." When World War II broke out he went to New Guinea as a war cofrespondent, reported the early bombings of Port Moresby, and then walked across the Owen Stanley Mountains to Wau and Salamaua. After the fighting he was ‘soon in the Pacific again, in the "Shangri-La" country of New Guinea, round Guadalcanal, New Caledonia and the New Hebrides. These adventures form the basis of his fictional radio serial Kiap _ O’Kane, which begins from the ZBs and 1XH on Wednesday, April 4, and from 2ZA on Friday, April 6.
