Some of you are slightly over reacting!
Having worked and lived in various places in PNG including Mendi and Port Moresby, I can honestly say that I’m not exactly scared of the place. There are places to go and places not to go and sometimes you can get caught out. I’ve only been done over twice in the 20+ years I’ve been coming up here and I was pissed on both occasions (actually asleep on the last robbery).
I’m currently in a remote camp in the Gulf Province and we have no fences around the base at all. We’ve got a few unarmed guards around the place and a few cops as well. Even got a few helicopters here and we have never had any major problems. It really depends where you are, certainly a lot different in most areas of the highlands. Even lived in Tabubil and we never had fences up there, albeit that was a few years ago.
Forget about flying your C-206 up here, it would be all too hard.
