Bombs to Beef is the authentic story of the development of a cattle station at the foot of Shaggy Ridge in PNG, the site of a famous WW2 battle from late 1943-44.The remnants of this campaign left Dumpu cattle station with a good airstrip, some wrecked aircraft, bomb holes, some live 25lb artillery shells and souvenirs. A few soldiers from rural Australia recognised a potential for cattle production on the Ramu Valley grasslands. They proved to be right.
