The PNG PM at 49 in 1985

 Today, as I was going through some old newspapers, I came across the picture of one of Papua New Guinea's great leaders - Mr. Micheal Somare. He was the first PNG prime minister and one of the founding leaders of PNG's independence journey.

What took be aback from this picture was of how young he looked when he turned 49. 

The picture appeared on the front page of the Post Courier on Tuesday, April 9th, 1985.
