New Guinea Club in Rabaul town celebrates 100 Year Anniversary
The once famous New Guinea Club in Rabaul town today celebrated its 100 years' anniversary.
The colonial party hub, dubbed as 'the Waterhole' was first built in 1919 by the Australians and frequented by high ranking officials in the colonial administration.
The club survived the second world war and two major volcanic eruptions and was managed by the Australians and the Japanese during their period of rule over Rabaul.
The New Guinea Club, a hub of history
The New Guinea Club in Rabaul is not as popular as any other big hotels in East New Britain Province, but it’s a historical center.
Established in 1919, the once party hub for the colonial rulers has now become home, not just for war relics, but original records of the colonial administration and the first sailors who navigated the Pacific.

Collingwood Curse in Papua New Guinea
A local witchdoctor in East New Britain places a curse on the Collingwood Football Club in mid 2005. Two Australian men approach the village and request to speak with the witchdoctor. He is well known regionally for being powerful in changing sporting team outcomes in leagues. He focuses his energies on the village's volleyball team, widely considered the driving force behind an 18 consecutive match winning streak. He thinks deeply about and finally agrees to use his powers to cast his spell against Collingwood.
Collingwood go on to a 9 match losing streak and finish second bottom of the ladder in 2005.
