UN Trust Territory of New Guinea - Background
Caption Description
The United Nations Trust Territory of New Guinea and the neighbouring non-self-governing Territory of Papua are administered jointly by Australia. Occupying the eastern half of the large island of New Guinea proper, which lies just north of Australia in the southwestern Pacific, the territories also include some 600 smaller islands of the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Island group. Population density is low, with an estimated (1969) 2 million persons living in small, widely scattered communities spread over 183,000 square miles. Many of the larger islands have high mountains rising from coastal swamps, with settlements dependent on shipping for transportation, while inland villages are mostly served by air. The economy is almost completely agricultural, with most of the people engaged in subsistence agriculture. There is an abundance of fertile land, including 10 million acres of good grazing grassland, on which the development of oil palms and livestock enterprises is being encouraged.
