They’ve already got preliminary drawings of what it should look like.” Alu is keeping his fingers crossed that these two projects will be ready in time for the 2015 Pacific Games. “The only concern us the Kookaburra road, but I think it will be done in time for the Games.” The National/PNG Facts Comments are closed.
