A view from Brunei’s big canoe

A view from Brunei's big canoe.

HMAS Brunei provided children of a remote coastal village in Bougainville with a rarely seen attraction when she recently anchored in their lagoon. Brunei had just dropped off members of the Peace Monitoring Group onto the village beach and were waiting for a meeting with the chiefs and elders to conclude. Curiosity got the better of the children and they decided to take a closer look in their traditional canoes.
