Colourful Clothes and other Goroka, Papua New Guinea Local Custom Tips

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!
