This video looks to me like it was taken from the haus guria up on the north daughter off tunnel hill road. Rabaul was re-built after the 1936 eruption but I doubt that it will ever be rebuilt again. Perhaps the wharves will be brought back into use, but that's about all. Pity because to me it was the most beautiful town in all of PNG, especially from the vantage point at haus guria. Bel bilong me he kraiaut long dispela hap nau he go pinis.
I lived there for 12 years as a kid. Left in1982 for highschool in Sydney. I was last there in 1988, but parents stayed there for a while running a shop. Left for good after the most recent seriies of eruptions
The clip in this video is the longest and best clip I have. By the time I figured out how to do an audio recording on my camera, the singing was almost over!
I recorded the music in a church service I attended in Rabaul....just used the audio feature on my digital camera. The harmonies you hear in the music in the islands (Bougainville too) are incredible!
