I’m back safe and sound from Papua New Guinea. I have a lot of stuff to write and I’ll try to get some of it up over the next few days. I’m in Cairns for two days before I fly to Darwin and start the drive to Perth. That is going to make going from Sydney to Cairns look like a trip around the block.
Oddly enough, I met a lot of Americans in PNG. I almost never meet Americans while traveling and I hadn’t expected to meet any in PNG of all places.
I probably had more conversations with people in PNG than I did my entire time in Australia. You don’t get the average 18-22 year old gap year European who is out to get drunk in Papua New Guinea.
Matt,
I dug through Gary’s archives to find a post that answers your question. Hopefully this covers everything you want to know.

Glad to hear you are back safe in Australia. Can’t wait to see the PNG photos!
Americans show up in Random places. I met one living Coral Bay, Australia. A town of like 50 people.
So what camera are you using? Do you use an SLR or a regular point and click? I’m looking to go out within the next week and buy a new one for my next trip. You’ve inspired me to take better photos!
