Bulolo (Bulolo Goldfields)

townprobable

Bulolo is a town in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea, historically notable as an important gold-dredging centre on the Bulolo River and for its early 20th-century airstrip development.

The Haunting

Bulolo, often referenced historically as the Bulolo Goldfields, is located on the Bulolo River, a tributary of the Markham River, roughly 32 km north-west of Wau. The town grew around gold-dredging operations during the colonial period in the former Territory of New Guinea and was served by an airstrip built in June 1930. Contemporary press in the interwar period noted Bulolo's modern transport connections, and as of 2010 the town had an estimated population of 20,000. The supplied sources focus on Bulolo's economic and transport history and do not provide any accounts of supernatural events or folklore tied to the site.
