Out side port Moresby, going towards Sogeri (where the Kokoda trail starts) there is a beautiful national park (go with a 4 wheels car though, the road is really bumpy!). You’ll have a wonderful view over the Port Moresby area. Not far, there is the Sogeri town, with small market, and the school museum worth seeing (open on Sundays, yes!) and further away there is a dump in which there are wall paintings dating from the prehistoric time. Get directions from the local people. On your return you can stop close from a nice waterfall (you can miss the place easily, be for the look out for a small parking place next to a power line pylon giving on the edge of the road, then walk into the bushes around a big roc, find some stairs and follow the “path” until you reach a small platform from which you have a view over the waterfall!). When visiting villages, I always have sonme candies for kids! You can make friends for life with a little menthos!!! I was told that the Sepik area is wonderful, highlands as well, basically all of PNG is worth visiting if you have time and money (airfares are outrageous!). For more infos, go on the Lonely planet web site (lonelyplanet.com), even though it has not been updated for a while, there are good infos, and also on the “thorn tree” sectio.

Port Moresby National Museum, right next to the Parliament is a must see if you want to get some knowledge of the country’s cultural diversity (even though the museum is very… dusty and old setting) it even has an inner court with some parrots and other birds flying around you. Once month, the Ela Beach Markt is THE place to go to buy local craft, and see a demonstration of Sing-sing! A MUST SEE! An other nice market to buy hand-made craft is held in Boroko, the Boroko market, everyday except on WE, if my memory is exact! The crocodile farm near Airways is an interesting place to see huge crocodile. They have seven of them. This place has no sign post, you’ll need someone who knows it to get there. Once there, there are nothing but huge ponds surrounded by fences, you’ll need to find one of the two keepers, one of them being dumb. They will show you the crocodiles, attract them. If you bring some frozen chicken, they’ll be delighted! They’ll feed the crocodile with it (they don’t have enough money to feed the crocodile as they should) and you’ll have a great show!!! Next is the botanical garden, a little paradise place, very well tended and kept, with a wonderful orchid garden and bird cages. In one of them, if you find a guide in the park, you can enter the “cage” and see the birds without having to peak through fences! Great parrots, birds of paradise, cassowary! However, if you don’t have mosquito repellent lotion, the place can turn into a living hell!!!! Leave a Comment
