Description
Local natives farewell Mrs Jackson (a representative of the Women's Weekly) as she set off in a lakatoi (boat) after visiting their village. They loaded her with gifts of the shell necklaces they love to make and another present was a model lakatoi. This photograph was published in the Australian Women's Weekly on 18 December 1943.
