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 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.
