Papua New Guinea celebrates independence

Papua New Guinea celebrated its first Independence Day on September 16, 1975, ending almost 70 years under Australian administration. Look back through the ABC archives at the ceremony, which featured then-Prince Charles addressing the crowd in Tok Pisin and the raising of PNG’s official flag at Sir Hubert Murray Stadium.
We also hear from Papua New Guineans as they reflect on the past 47 years as a nation, the legacy of Sir Michael Somare, and look with hope to the next generation. To see more of the ABC Pacific Collection head to:
