Papau New Guinea Local Hangout . Kokopo Ralum Country Club
Lets start with basics. Drinks are cheap . For a spirit shot + mixer it would come to about 10 kina . And to add food it could be around 40 kina then,. They have Chinese food available and western traditional dishes like chicken wings, fried chicken or chips, Every Friday locals gather for excitement as Joker is drawn every week until winner gets all . This can be a long process until someone draws one and basically is a great excuse to get out of the house and have a drink or 7 .






One other way to know thias place is to learn about history of Queen Emma and how she acquired Ralum and made Gunantambu social club. She Aquired Gazelle Peninsula and build her mansion at Ralum in 1886 .
Gunantambu was the social hub of the Gazelle Peninsula for many years, with many stories and scandals to boot.
“She was an exceptionally smart business woman expanding her empire to trade stores, several plantations and shipping. She enjoyed a lavish lifestyle including legendary parties in her mansion Gunantambu. In particular she liked men’s company, acquiring a number of husbands and lovers over her life-time. It was here in East New Britain where she became known as Queen Emma – a legend in her own lifetime.
By 1909, Emma was nearly blind and suffering from diabetes. She sold her estate to Rudolf Wahlen for approximately DM 4 million. Emma lived in Prince Albert Street, Mosman, for a while. She visited Monte Carlo in 1913 with husband Paul Kolbe who died two days before Emma. The official death certificate discounts the many rumours surrounding their deaths. They were cremated and buried at Ralum. In 1924 their son re interred the urns at Old South Head cemetery in Sydney landmarked by two very large, ornate headstones. “”
