Even though PNG is near the equator, it can get cool in the evenings. Bring along a jacket for the night time.
Hiking boots/shoes are a MUST
Bring along your usual toiletries, and don't forget the saline nasal spray for clear sinuses!
Check your camera battery before you get to PNG, because you never know if the same miracle can happen twice! (bring along an extra battery just in case)
The children love to paint their faces and adorn themselves with anything from a telephone cords and paperclips to bar code stickers and leaves.
If I had known then what I've learned now, I would turn back time and bring along some stickers (Disney or cartoon characters would be great) for the kids, and maybe some soluble face paints or even some inexpensive plastic jewelry accessories. They are passionate about self-decoration and would probably go crazy to receive such a gift from a foreign guest.
