Papua New Guinea & Solomon Islands Travel Guide
Papua New Guinea & Solomon Islands Travel Guide
Papua New Guinea is an island nation in Oceania. A country of immense cultural and biological diversity, it’s known for its beaches and coral reefs. Inland are active volcanoes, granite Mt. Wilhelm, dense rain forest and hiking routes like the Kokoda Trail. There are also traditional tribal villages, many with their own languages.
Papua New Guinea is just to the south of the equator and has a tropical climate. In the highlands, though, temperatures are distinctly cool. The (very) wet season runs from about December to March. The best months for trekking are June to September.

Traditional frescoes adorn the conical National Parliament building. The National Museum has WWII relics and cultural artifacts. The Botanical Gardens includes an orchid house. Outside the city, the waters of the Mataniko Falls thunder down a rocky cliff into a canyon.
The American War Memorial has descriptions on marble slabs of local battles fought during the Guadalcanal Campaign of WWII. Built by Japanese veterans, the Solomons Peace Memorial Park commemorates those who died. West of the city, Vilu War Museum has memorials and WWII aircraft. Nearby, Bonegi Beach, with 2 sunken wartime vessels, is a popular site for diving and snorkeling. East, Bloody Ridge is a hill defended by U.S. troops against the Japanese in 1942. It has a small, pyramid-shaped U.S. memorial. With views over the area, nearby Mount Austen was a strategic WWII site.
Port Moresby is the sprawling capital of Papua New Guinea, a country north of Australia. The vast anthropological collection at the PNG National Museum and Art Gallery includes masks and carved wooden poles. Nearby, Parliament House is modeled on a traditional house of worship. Its entrance is dominated by a large, colorful mosaic featuring national motifs. There are views over Port Moresby Harbour from Paga Hill.
Nearby traditional villages include Koki, built on stilts in a bay. To the north, Port Moresby Nature Park combines botanical gardens, featuring many orchids, with a zoo housing tree kangaroos, parrots and reptiles. The Bomana War Cemetery holds the graves of many Papua New Guinean, Australian and other soldiers who died during WWII. Hikers are drawn to Varirata National Park in the east, with its resident wallabies and birds of paradise. Nearby, the town of Sogeri is at one end of the long, mountainous Kokoda Track, which passes through dense rainforest. Diving is popular on coral reefs off the coast.

Trobriand Islands (Islands of Love) PNG 1984
Archive- 1984: Kiriwina in the Trobriand Islands is part of Papua New Guinea and is situated to the North of the main island of New Guinea and is about 420km from Port Moresby by aircraft. Because of the so called lax morals of the inhabitants the islands have been nicknamed the Islands of Love. The people are friendly and the islands typically beautiful Pacific islands with some lovely beaches. Tourism is not as developed as elsewhere in the Pacific due to the relatively high costs of travel to get there. While the younger women can be quite attractive and very friendly, unfortunately in such a free society social diseases are rife! [NOTE: Comments are from my knowledge from my visit in 1984 and situations may have changed since then.]
Alotau - Papua New Guinea
PNG Madang Province :
Alotau, spectacularly situated on the edge of Milne Bay, is a good base for visiting the outlying islands. Fergusson Island has an active thermal region, hot springs, bubbling mud pools, spouting geysers and volcanoes and Misima Island was the scene of a 1930 gold rush from which a major mine has now been developed. Woodlark Island is populated by people of Melanesian ancestry, who are known for their expertly crafted wood carvings.
Located where the Solomon sea and the Coral sea meet, Alotau is definitely the place to go diving with much of Milne Bay offering spectacular natural diving for everyone.
