Wau, Morobe Province, 1937

Workers from the Morobe Bakery load

Navy biscuits on to a truck. The bakery was established in 1937 in Wau and Salamaua. James Rice, the chief executive officer of Paradise Foods, supplied this photo and says the biscuits were originally made as rations for the navy. He says Arnott’s purchased Morobe Bakery in 1972, which in turn purchased Paradise Bakery in 1992. The two companies were combined into a new company, Paradise Foods. “We still make the ration biscuits to this day,” he says.
