I am just doing some research on the Australian period of PNG and was wondering why Bainings post office was closed in 1953 after only being open two years? Does anyone know why?
Nothing definite to offer – the only clue may be that it was an agency office. Whatever company/firm had the agency may have closed at that time (I suspect it was likely to be one of the large trading firms – say, Burns Philp, Carpenters, etc).
