Mate thank you for a great vid, I was there in 1991/92 and it was a fantastic place, I loved it here. I actually lived over the other side tho at Pila Pila.
Werner...You really captured that wonderful day in Rabaul...what a special atmosphere...and your video just brought back sweet memories of this island and it's beautiful people...Thank you Frankie Verroca
Great video and brings back great memories of my home town although things have change I still love the place. Looks sad but I will always have the memories of the great years in my head. The kids just made me smile and remember my childhood there. Thanks a million.
My mum and grandparents lived there in the 60s, she recently returned for a reunion last year. I never got there myself, I was more main island living.
In the introduction, it says the language of the people in Rabaul is 'Kuanua'. While 'Kuanua' is a common name used for their language, that's not what it is really called by the people. The correct name is, 'Tinata Tuna'. It is like using the word, 'Tolai' as for what the people are called. They are not, they are actually called, 'Tolaigu'. The word 'Tolaigu' means 'friend' in Tinata Tuna. Chewing betel nut on it's own is not good for you and when you mix it with daka and kambang, as most people do, it is highly corrosive and poisonous to the human body. Daka is not so bad, in fact that is probably the only good part. Kambang is slaked lime and as such it removes the enamel from teeth causing the teeth to rot. It also acts on the mucous membranes of the nasal passage, throat, esophagus, and stomach. These parts can develop ulcers and eventually cancers. Betel nut is NOT a native of PNG, it is an introduced species from Asia. I often wondered if Rabalanakaia erupted in 1994 along with Tavurvue. I have walked into Tavurvur a number of times and also past Rabalanakaia next to it, which I thought looked absolutely beautiful and primevil. I remember thinking at the time (1969), that I would love to explore inside of Rabalanakaia. I wished I had. I love Rabaul and it's people. Ina gire u namur tolaigu.
My family right there.. Thank you

Great video!
Video would have been lovelier if you could spell the name of my country properly ... it is Papua New Guinea, ok?
What is the name of the song at the end of the video?

No it didn't. Vulcan did though. Both also erupted in 1937; Vulcan was born in that seismic event
