Aerial View of Paga Hill, Port Moresby and Fairfax Harbor
The hill to the left is Paga Hill.  To the right are moored PBY Catalina and a Short Suderland flyingboats at the Fairfax Harbor Flying Boat Base. In the middle of the photo is a pipe line extending from Hanabada Point, far out into the harbor for aviation fuel for 5 Mile and 7 Mile. Several transports are in the harbor, as well as smaller native sailing boats.  Many piramid style tents are visible along the beach area. [ Enlargement of Flying Boat Base ]
