alisoncc - spent most of my PNG time in various locations with Crowley. Did get to Kiunga but not on shuttles.
I was there when Kennecott were doing the survey work for Ok Tedi. All of their kit went via Aerial Tours BN2A's. Personally got into Garaina and Mount Hagen, through to Daru and other nasty places. Known by ex-pats as The Septic.
Was there when a front page story in the Moresby Post? reported that the Head Kiap had stated that the whole of Papua was now cannibal-free. But not all of us believed him.
