  • Sometimes I flew into or out of Goroka instead of making the 4-hour drive up the Highlands Highway from Lae. Air Nuigini ran a pretty efficient air service, with twin-engine turbo-prop Fokker F-27 Friendship planes doing the bulk of the work.

    This photo beside the airport departure gate, in the days when Security was not much of a concern, shows a group of the local ladies in their colourful everyday clothes - not the fancy traditional stuff that was carted out for the tourists! Actually, that expatriate lady is looking quite colourful herself!

     even now in nepal, india and sri lanka very colourful clothes are worn all the time. we have such wonderful varieties of cotton and even the designs are so cool for hot tropical weather like ours, tight security at airports notwithstanding !!!
