    Culture & History Trekking & Kayaking Stand Up Paddle Boarding Kavieng Rabaul Trekking Adventures Madang PapuaMt WilhelmNew Guinea Mt Hagen Goroka Lae ABOUT PAPUA NEW GUINEA Salamaua Papua New Guinea occupies the eastern half of the rugged tropical island of New Guinea (which it shares with the Indonesian territory of Irian Jaya) as well as numerous smaller islands and atolls in the Pacific. The central part of the island rises into a wide ridge of mountains known as the Highlands, a terri- Kokoda tory that is so densely forested and topographically forbidding that the island’s local people remained Tufi isolated from each other for millennia. The coastline Owers’ Crn is liberally endowed with spectacular coral reefs, giv- Port Moresby ing the country an international reputation for scuba diving. The smaller island groups of Papua New Alotau Guinea include the Bismarck Archipelago, New Brit- ain, New Ireland and the North Solomon’s. Some of these islands are volcanic, with dramatic mountain ranges, and all are relatively undeveloped. Nearly 85 percent of the main island is carpeted with tropical rain forest, containing vegetation that has its origins from Asia and Australia. The country is also home to an impressive variety of exotic birds, in- cluding virtually all of the known species of Bird’s of Paradise, and it is blessed with more kinds of orchids than any other country. For centuries, the South Pa- cific has been luring the traveller who searched for excitement, beauty and tranquillity. The exploits of sailors to the South Pacific have been told and re- told, but in telling, there is one large country which is not mentioned, Papua New Guinea.

  • Estimated Impact of Drought and Frost on Food Supply in Rural PNG in 2015
    POLICY BRIEF 11 JANUARY 2016 Source: FAO Estimated impact of drought and frost on food supply in rural PNG in 2015 R.M. Bourke, Bryant Allen and Michael Lowe SUMMARY Since April 2015, much of rural Papua New Guinea (PNG) has been severely impacted by a severe drought and, at a number of very high altitude locations above 2200 m altitude, by repeated frosts. The El Niño drought has had a major impact on water supply in many parts of PNG, with negative impacts on school operations, women’s labour and villagers’ health. In many locations, subsistence food supply has been affected. This brief uses a wide variety of reports to assess the impact of the drought on food supply for rural villagers for the whole of PNG at the Local Level Government Area (LLGA) level. We have assembled over 200 reports, of which about 75% contained useable information on food supply. These have been generated from August to December 2015. Reports included a number of formal assessments done by the National Disaster Centre, some churches, NGOs and provincial authorities; detailed local assessments; semi-formal and casual communications; and press and social media reports. The methods used in the assessments differed to some degree. We assembled the reports in a database and allocated a five-point scale for food supply for each location. The Development Policy Centre is part of Crawford School of Public Policy at The Australian National University. We undertake analysis and promote discussion on Australian aid, Papua New Guinea and the Pacific and global development policy. In 27 of the 271 rural LLGAs, food supply from including potato.

NEW MODEL, SUCCESS STORIES ANNUAL PRINT EDITION, 2011 Official Magazine for Grand Banks Owners & Enthusiasts FROM THE EDITORS Dream big. That’s how epic journeys start. Before any dates were marked on a calendar, or Spraywaypoints entered on the chartplotter, someone had a whopper of a dream—and then, despite all the reasons to shrug it off and sit tight, they decided to make that Jonathan Cooper dream reality. To make that epic cruise. Designer Photographer Where would we be without those silly dreamers and their grand, impractical dreams? A few months ago, when we first had the dream of creating a bigger, better edition of Spray, we also felt that temptation to shake it off and stick to business as usual. But we were inspired to go forward—inspired by the very owners we write about and meet at rendezvous and boat shows every year, the ones who leave us in awe and admiration of all the remarkable things they’ve seen and done. We were motivated by their capacity to think big, by their determination to “live deep,” as Thoreau put it, and make the most of their opportunities in life. Who knows how long those opportunities might last? David Hensel Okay, so publishing a larger, lengthier magazine may not be exactly what Thoreau Producer Writer had in mind, or an endeavor equal to anything these owners have pulled off.

In advising it’s acceptance of the Convention, the Government of PNG joined other signatories in committing to, amongst other things, as far as possible to: 1. “adopt a general policy that aims to give the cultural and natural heritage a function in the life of the community and to integrate the protection of that heritage into comprehensive planning programs’; 2. undertake 'appropriate legal, scientific, technical, administrative and financial measures necessary for the identification, protection, conservation, presentation and rehabilitation of this heritage'; 3. refrain from 'any deliberate measures which might damage, directly or indirectly, the cultural and natural heritage' of other Parties to the Convention, and to help other Parties in the identification and protection of their properties.” UNESCO In accordance with Article 11 (1) of the Convention, in 2006 PNG formally nominated seven identified areas for Tentative Listing.

First published 1976 by The Australian National University Reprinted © 2016 ANU Press Preface Papua New Guinean communities living on islands in the Coral Sea, near creeks feeding the major rivers of the mainland, and in villages crowded along ridge-tops in the interior, gardened and hunted over land containing gold. Most of the men who came hungry for the gold were from Australia. They carried with them the skills to obtain it and the beliefs then common among Australian working men about foreigners and blacks. Most of the diggers believed that their guns and their brains made them superior to any ‘coloured’ men. Some also thought that they were physically superior, although that was harder to believe after 1902 when the first black American won a world boxing title.

  • Culture, Capitalism and Contestation Over Marine Resources in Island Melanesia
    Changing Lives and Livelihoods: Culture, Capitalism and Contestation over Marine Resources in Island Melanesia Jeff Kinch 31st March 2020 A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Archaeology and Anthropology Research School of Humanities and the Arts College of Arts and Social Sciences Australian National University Declaration Except where other information sources have been cited, this thesis represents original research undertaken by me for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology at the Australian National University. I testify that the material herein has not been previously submitted in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other institution. Jeff Kinch Supervisory Panel Prof Nicolas Peterson Principal Supervisor Assoc Prof Simon Foale Co-Supervisor Dr Robin Hide Co-Supervisor Abstract This thesis is both a contemporary and a longitudinal ethnographic case study of Brooker Islanders. Brooker Islanders are a sea-faring people that inhabit a large marine territory in the West Calvados Chain of the Louisiade Archipelago in Milne Bay Province of Papua New Guinea. In the late 19th Century, Brooker Islanders began to be incorporated into an emerging global economy through the production of various marine resources that were desired by mainly Australian capitalist interests. The most notable of these commodified marine resources was beche-de-mer. Beche-de-mer is the processed form of several sea cucumber species. The importance of the sea cucumber fishery for Brooker Islanders waned when World War I started. Following the rise of an increasingly affluent China in the early 1990s, the sea cucumber fishery and beche-de-mer trade once again became an important source of cash income for Brooker Islanders.

WFP and partners carried out the survey in 8 LLGs and 46 wards, which MBPDES and NDC in 2015 classified as experiencing very severe or extreme drought conditions (NDC categories 4 and 5). A total of 161 questionnaires were completed with feedback from these affected communities, using tools developed by WFP to collect food security indicators at the community level. The findings are comparable and complementary to the nationwide mobile phone survey that WFP and NDC carried out earlier this year during January and February. In addition, based on field reports, MBPDES assessed an additional 6 LLGs (68 wards) and compared the general findings with results of the quantitive survey conducted in the selected 8 LLGs to derive at an overall estimate of needs for the Milne Bay Province.
