    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.

  • Notes on the Gulf Province Languages Overview
    Notes on the Gulf Province languages Karl Franklin (Data Collected 1968-1973; this report collated 2011) Information compiled here is from notes that I collected between 1968 and 1973. Following the completion of my Ph.D. degree at the Australian National University in 1969, I was awarded a post-doctoral fellowship in 1970 to conduct a linguistic survey of the Gulf Province. In preparation for the survey I wrote a paper that was published as: Franklin, Karl J. 1968. Languages of the Gulf District: A Preview. Pacific Linguistics, Series A, 16.19-44. As a result of the linguistic survey in1970, I edited a book with ten chapters, written by eight different scholars (Franklin, Lloyd, MacDonald, Shaw, Wurm, Brown, Voorhoeve and Dutton). From this data I proposed a classification scheme for 33 languages. For specific details see: Franklin, Karl J. 1973 (ed.) The linguistic situation in the Gulf District and adjacent areas, Papua New Guinea. Pacific Linguistics, Series C, 26, x + 597 pp. Overview There are three sections in this paper. The first is a table that briefly outlines information on languages, dialects and villages of the Gulf Province. (Note that I cannot verify the spelling of each village/language due to differences between various sources.) The second section of the paper is an annotated bibliography and the third is an Appendix with notes from Annual Reports of the Territory of Papua. Source Notes Author/Language Woodward Annual pp. 19-22 by Woodward notes that: Report (AR) Four men of Pepeha were murdered by Kibeni; there is 1919-20:19- now friendly relations between Kirewa and Namau; 22 information on patrols to Ututi, Sirebi, and Kumukumu village on a whaleboat.

  • Authenticity and Village-Based Tourism in the Trobriand Islands of Papua New Guinea Michelle Maccarthy
    22 Touring ‘Real Life’? Authenticity and Village-based Tourism in the Trobriand Islands of Papua New Guinea Michelle MacCarthy Introduction Tina,1 a striking young woman of Iranian heritage, travelled on her own from Victoria, Australia, to spend two months in the islands of Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea (PNG), with one of those months in the Trobriand Islands. When I spoke with her at length, Tina had been in the Trobriands for about a week and a half. She had stayed in the beachside village of Kaibola for a few days, and then travelled to Tauwema village on Kaileuna Island before returning to the largest island, Kiriwina. Tina organised village stays on the ground by asking around at the guest lodge and in the government station of Losuia. I spoke with Tina outside the small, local bush-materials house she was renting for a few days in Karidakula, the hamlet just 1 All participants were given the option, when briefed about my research and offered a Participant Information Sheet (PIS), to indicate their preference for my using their real name or a pseudonym. I have respected their wishes, but do not indicate here in which cases a pseudonym is used. 333 TOURING PACIFIC CulturES next to Butia Lodge,2 where she had just taken a ‘bucket shower’ in a temporary enclosure built for the purpose. The lodge, a well- established guest house with a generator, beds (as opposed to the mat on the floor on which Tina would have slept), and a kitchen stocked with imported foods, was no more than a few hundred metres away, but staying with a local family in each place was appealing to Tina, who preferred to ‘rough it’, as she put it, and make her money stretch to allow a longer visit.

  • Interlude: Locations in 'Pentecost'
    Interlude Locations in ‘Pentecost’ The reader may wonder why we have chosen such disparate ethnographic locations for our endeavour of ‘locating Pentecost’: Luanda (Angola), Port Vila (Vanuatu) and Kiriwina (Trobriand Islands). They are not even the ‘classic’ sites usually approached to study Pentecostalism – Brazil, Nigeria, North America etc. Beyond the fact that they are geographically set in coastal regions of the global south, they seem to have very little in common. Indeed, they represent very distinct geographical scenar- ios – from the hyper-urban configuration of the postcolonial African city of Luanda to the rural/urban confluence of Port Vila and finally to the rural, insular landscape of Kiriwina. Furthermore, they bear dis- tinct histories and relationships with the European and Western colonial endeavours and, particularly, with Western Christian mission. Luanda harbours a long, century-old history of both contact with Christian missions, the emergence of ‘African Independent Churches’ and partic- ipation in the transnationalization of southern Christianities (Sarró and Blanes 2009). Kiriwina likewise has a century of contact with mission- aries, both European and Polynesian, with the more recent arrival of a ‘revival’ Christianity. Similarly, Port Vila (and Vanuatu more broadly) has its own distinct history of missionary encounters and conversion. This diversity, however, is a case in point: we believe that this con- textual heterogeneity is a necessary challenge to overarching assump- tions concerning the phenomenon of Pentecostalism as a unified ‘global movement’ (Anderson et al. 2010). The anthropology of Christianity, and Pentecostalism in particular, has debated the way in which "Going to Pentecost” Edited by Annelin Eriksen, Ruy Llera Blanes, and Michelle MacCarthy is available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license with support from the University of Bergen.

  • Local Agency and William Macgregor's Exploration of The
    8 Local agency and William MacGregor’s exploration of the Trobriand Islands Andrew Connelly At the time of British New Guinea Administrator William MacGregor’s first visits to the Trobriand Islands in 1890 and 1891, the islands had been frequented by whalers for over 40 years and by traders for over a decade. However, this long history of European encounter and exchange in the Trobriands failed to result in the construction of a body of knowledge available to MacGregor, since many encounters were not recorded or were buried in ships’ logs, published information was widely scattered, and some regular visits were kept secret. Because of this, MacGregor ventured into an informational wilderness to ‘discover’ the islands for himself. On the other hand, these previous exchanges had produced a local body of shared knowledge that shaped his reception by Trobriand intermediaries, especially local chiefs who attempted to recruit him into exclusive exchange relationships. If not unrecognised by MacGregor, then at least unreported were the surely numerous interactions between Trobrianders and his Polynesian and Melanesian companions, whose presence and conduct would have been as significant for Trobrianders as MacGregor’s was. 161 BRoKERS AND BouNDARIES William MacGregor was born in Scotland and completed medical studies at Edinburgh, gaining his certificate in 1872. He then joined the British colonial service as a medical assistant, working in the Seychelles and Mauritius under Governor Sir Arthur Gordon, who encouraged him to take on administrative tasks as well. It was here that he first developed an interest in ‘native’ affairs and welfare. MacGregor followed Gordon to Fiji in 1874, where a string of appointments over 14 years amounted to an extended training course in colonial administration.1 Figure 8.1: William MacGregor, 1888.

  • A Case Study in the Trobriand Islands, Papua New Guinea
    IIFET 2006 Portsmouth Proceedings COMMUNITY-BASED MARINE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT: A CASE STUDY IN THE TROBRIAND ISLANDS, PAPUA NEW GUINEA Nick Rawlinson, Australian Maritime College, [email protected] Presley Kokwaiye, DEVADS Limited, [email protected] Associate Professor Shekar Bose, Australian Maritime College, [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper describes a community-based management methodology that was used to promote the sustainable management of marine resources, especially sea cucumbers, within a village in the Trobriand Islands, Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea. While recognising traditional and customary knowledge and systems, the methodology encouraged increased participation of resource users in decision-making. This was achieved by empowering community members to assess the awareness of their problems and to develop a plan to solve these problems. The community developed a marine resource management plan that included conservation and development objectives, and associated actions, to achieve the sustainable use of their marine resources. The community-based management methodology was successful in mobilising the community to take some actions to conserve their surrounding marine habitats and resources. As in other uses of this management approach, it is clear that certain conditions need to be met in order to increase the chances of developing and sustaining successful community-based marine resource management arrangements in the Trobriand Islands in the future. Keywords: Community-based management, bêche-de-mer , sustainability, Trobriand Islands, Papua New Guinea INTRODUCTION In 2001, the bêche-de-mer (sea cucumber) fishery in Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea produced approximately 209 mt. (dry weight) that was worth over 8 million kina (or approximately US$ 2 million) [1].

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.

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.

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?
