In English

Jan 1975. Road building using people! Besaki temple. Lake Bedugal and temple. Probably the new road over the mountains from Bedugal to Lovina. In those days no drivers just public buses full of villagers going to market with goats and pigs and chooks all in cane cages and bags. Betal nut dripping down a lot of older peoples' chins! Loved the way the buses nearly slid off mountain bends.
