  • Rock Slide on the Main Highway - Goroka
    Rock Slide on the Main Highway
    by Bwana_Brown

    The Highlands Highway from coastal Lae, Papua New Guinea's second largest city, up into the mountain ranges was quite a good sealed road. It started out along the Markham River valley and then veered up and into the mountain ranges as it split away from a lesser quality road that continued north to Madang. It was always fun winding our way up Kassam Pass to the higher elevations where we were treated to both amazing views and very pleasant cooler temperatures! Twisting its way through the mountain ranges as the highway did, there were bound to be cases where mudslides and rock-falls had their say in the matter. However, it usually was not too long before heavy equipment arrived to re-open this vital life-line into the heart of Papua New Guinea. We decided to take a break from the Landcruiser and stretch our legs at this particular slide!

    Anywhere you go in the Highlands, you do not have to travel far outside the cities and towns before you enter the world of the local villagers. Little huts are dotted here and there on the hillsides and villagers seem to be strolling around just about everywhere you go. This woman is typical of what you will see as she strolls along a road cut into the side of this mountainous area, and being barefoot is almost guaranteed. In addition to carrying a large machete-like knife, she has a traditional woven 'bilum' bag slung from her head and dangling down her back. These colourful sacks are used to carry a variety of objects. Maybe that is a taro root in her other hand and a bunch of its leaves on her head? I did not ask.

    The architecture of cities and towns in the Highlands is fairly simple. Most buildings are not very tall and the central business districts are quite compact. Spread out from there on the surrounding hills are the houses of the local population, most including a lush little garden. The cool mornings bring mists which cling to the mountain tops, gradually dissipating as the heat of the tropical sun takes hold. The air has a fresh feel to it as villagers come trickling back into town to go about their daily business. I always liked coming to the Highlands because it was so much different than the atmosphere in the capital city of Port Moresby. It was great to have the mountains and the sounds of nature all around!
