Appreciate more pics if possible. Regards Greg Goodes Pietersburg South Africa.

You are very lucky to have experienced the "old" Lae.I think you will find that many things have changed since you were there with your husband. Most changes for the worst. The botanical gardens are basically run down and decent folks basically stay away from the place due to a worsening track records.Regards,R Hi Christine,

Revived some memories. My husband was curator, Lae Botanic Gardens 1970 - 1974. I understand the Botanic Gardens are different now. Good to see the old Lae photos. Revived some memories.
