Tufi Dive Resort
Tufi Dive Resort
After hearing so many divers rave about it, Niugini Blue sent Don Silcock to Tufi in Oro Province, to see what all the fuss is about. What he found there was Papua New Guinea's world famous exotic beauty at it's very best, and a reputation that is well-deserved.
The sun was breaking over Owen Stanley Ranges as we took of from Port Moresby's Jackson's Airport and headed East towards Tufi. I felt really excited to be finally making the journey to an area of PNG I had heard so much about, but had never visited.
The flight takes just under an hour and the journey takes you across a formidable Owen Stanley mountain range before descending to track the coast along Dyke Acklan Bay, on the edge of the Solomon Sea, finally crossing Cape Nelson to Tufi. At six am in the morning it's a truly memorable experience as the daunting mountains of the Owen Stanley's are bathed in soft light, and the Airlines PNG Twin Otter flies low enough to give you a real sense of just how rugged this densely mountainous region really is.

Kokoda Trail – I’m going BACK! by Jamie Schauble
First I should introduce myself. My name is Jamie Schauble, I am female and I am 23 years old and live in a small country town named Clermont. Clermont is in Australia and has a population of about 4500 people. I work in a coal mine formally as a machinery operator. I love tennis, touch football, swimming, volleyball and water skiing.
The Kokoda Trail: It all started when my friend Candice McDonald asked me if I wanted to do the Kokoda trail in aid of Breast Cancer. I had no real intension to go to PNG and never realised the significance of Kokoda (until I was the trail) I was more up for the physical challenge. So it did not take me long to decide that I would like to be apart of this special adventure.

Telephone Management Software
Matryx develop Telephone Management software in Papua New Guinea. Telephone Management software allows companies to monitor telephone calls made through a PABX by staff.
You would be amazed at how much money you will save once staff are aware that you are monitoring telephone calls made from office phones. Just imagine how much money you can save if you cut the number of STD and mobile calls made from your office.
The detailed reports even display the owner of the phone number being called. For example if an employee calls Daltron, the number will be displayed on the report.

The land of adventure.
Arguably one of the most spectacularly beautiful countries on earth PNG is situated to the near north of Australia and comprises the eastern half of the world’s largest island. Within is geographical boundaries lay several hundred offshore islands large and small, some with unique flora, fauna and many diverse primitive village cultures. Separated from The Indonesian state of West Papua, along the 141st meridian this young nation stretches into the Pacific Ocean and is bordered by the Coral Sea in the South and Micronesia to the North. Contained entirely within the hot tropics and surrounded by oceans, heavy rainfall and high temperatures throughout the year have combined to create one of the largest rainforest areas outside of the Amazon. Geologically it is relatively young and is undergoing continuous change as the earths movement and the many active volcanos sculpt the terrain with powerful tremors, ash and lava all along an east west, line of instability forming part of the “ring of fire” that reaches from Asia right across the Pacific Ocean.
The biological diversity of the flora and fauna that is encountered as one travels from the coastal regions across lowland flood plains of swamp, open grass and into the forested slopes and mountains offer visitors a seemingly unending variety of scenery. All the recognised species of “Birds of Paradise” are represented here and over ….other species of birdlife combined with the unique marsupial, mammal, insect and marine life combine to make PNG a very special place in the world of nature. With over seven hundred distinct languages spoken throughout the nation the human cultural aspects are without parallel in anthropological terms. From the earliest contact with the western world during the second half of the 19th Century many hundreds of studies have produced a diverse range literature on the people of this land as they journeyed through time from their primitive beginnings to the present day where the nation now takes it’s place in the 21st Century as a member of the world community.
With so much diversity of culture, scenery, flora and fauna it is little wonder that PNG offers the world so much as a travel destination.
Tropical Beachside Hotels, cultural performances, spectacular scenery, Mountain Treks, Fishing, unequalled Scuba Diving, Bird Watching, World War 2 Historical sites and relics such as boats and aircraft (Balus), including the infamous Kokoda Trail where local tour companies provide guides for the adventurous trekker.
From the bottom of it’s oceans to the highest mountain peaks it is all here. Although it is resource rich in terms of Gold, Copper, Oil, Gas and Timber, PNG is still a developing country and the majority of it’s population are subsistence farmers of one kind or another but their shyness, generosity, humour, and good nature leaves most visitors with glowing tales of their stay in this wonderful place with it’s warm and friendly people and rich cultures. Kina is the local currency used in PNG and anyone travelling to the country should obtain some kina prior to travelling to PNG to be on the safe side.
Eco-tourism or Eco-travel is a growing industry in PNG, with a number of tour operators operating this exciting form of travel to the adventurous traveller. We hope that this site which include information regarding travel, tourism, employment, surfing, taxes, Airlines Of PNG, Air Niugini, mining, forum along with thousands of pictures of PNG is of benefit to you when taking a vacation to PNG.
