Remote Vanimo is Located HERE

Vanimo is located in the far northwest of mainland Papua New Guinea, only a few miles from the Indonesian border. Located in the former West Sepik province, this off-the-beaten-path province has recently been re-named 'Sandaun' province in order to achieve greater distinction from its more famous neighour, East Sepik province. The new name derives from the local 'Pidgin' language word for 'sun down', because this western border town is one of the last places in PNG where the sun finally sets each day. From within PNG, there are no direct road connections to this remote corner of the country, islolated as it is by the vast swampy tributaries of the Sepik River, the Bismarck Sea and the wilds of eastern Indonesia.
