This place has a lot of history. It is great to come to a place like this especially if you have an Italian background. It makes you appreciate everything Italian.

Memories are flooding back. We came in Dec. 1969 on the “Galileo Tiacarni” ( sister ship of Galilee ) to Sydney. I spent a year in the jungle of New Ireland in 1970 and was actually in the area of Port Breton (not then knowing of the tragic event) where the original Italian expedition to Novelle Francias had committed to for a new life.
