[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this photo at the Sing Sing (dance/celebration) in Port Moresby in 1971 when Papua New Guinea gained self government.Groups came from around the country to celebrate, some in very traditional outfits (like in this photo) and some in more European outfits. I was lucky in that my wife was teaching at a local school so I was able to move amongst the dancers and capture classic shots of traditional dancers like this one.
Scanned from a slide.

Hi Ian, welcome to TE. It is rare to see pictures from the 1970s here, especially from PNG, so I think a great effort with a historical background. Welcome to TE and looking forward to seeing more.
