Port Moresby Trip
Wednesday 16th December 1942
Reported at Townsville Flying
boat base at 8 AM. A lot of
delay, weighed and left wharf
at 9.15 AM. More delay on
aircraft, and we finally left
Townsville at 11.30 AM. Passed
over Magnetic Is and several
other partly covered reefs never
sighted mainland again. Had
a couple of hours sleep. Very
calm trip except for a storm
about 1 hour from T'ville. Never
looked like being sick &
thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
Never took any food except
packet biscuits, a yank gave
me a sandwich and a banana
