Go here for a good read and some fine photography… if I don’t say so myself.
My plan is now to write about all the PNG Provinces I have been to, kinda like an armchair guide to some of the things they may not show you in your travel agent.
How many names have you got…is the chap on the blog, you?

I’m a little confused by that too.
If you are referring to that steve character, then yes, it is I.
Its a long story, and I didn’t want a “Pain Master in PNG” blog, so steve stepped up to the plate. All photos and all words are by the PM though don’t you worry about that.
There isn’t a picture of steve or the PM that I can see on there…
gorgeous images .. thanks Steve or PM or whoever you are.. ;) Bookmarked for perusal.. ::)

Oh, OK, thanks for the explanation..there is a very famous “Steve” by that name, did you know? He makes his living with art photography …

Yes he makes it seem so easy, dammit!…but there’s a lot in the composition and then his text makes them more meaningful…I’ve been enjoying the “armchair travel” since Pain Master got over there…

Oh really? I did not know that. I chose steve bennett as it looks and sounds like a real name, but I picked it from a very obscure Cartoon Character, who know one has ever seen but only heard mentioned once. When I heard it, I thought what a great nom de plume for an internet identity.

thanks roughbarked, currently I am working my way through a blog page and photos for all the Provinces I have been to.

I Googled…but you didn’t come up (as SB): only this other character…
Every time I hear the name Bennett, I think of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen…which I read once a year and get something different each time…

Another reason why I chose it. I think SB is also a Football player in the US, so I figured it would take some working out…

Interesting if you Google SB + PNG then you will find me, but you will also find an artist called Stephen Bennett who funnily enough has visited some of the sites I have recently mentioned in my Blog, now that’s a turn for the cards!

Well I didn’t get you when I did that…maybe I didn’t look hard enough or maybe I didn’t use the right clues?
Not to worry, and will you be following the Tour Down Under this year? I see where Lance Armstrong is going to stretch his legs (or is that flex his calf muscles?) with a view to participating in the Tour Up Top?

Hopefully will be able to keep one eye on the bikes down under. I have heard that LA is currently in Adelaide and I have yet to hear a confirmed sighting of him yet.

I’ve only read a bit of the blog so far PM but it is really interesting and the photos are fantastic. I’m not sure if you say so in your blog, and I haven’t been on the forum long enough to know, but why are you in PNG? I gather it’s for work? What do you do?

I just got it out of the library yesterday for a re-read, LOL
both my copies are falling apart…I like the hardbacks…maybe will get a chance to look in a bookshop soon…
Pain Master, I have found you on the internet, your weather forum as well, and it looks like you have added to your “blogo” since last night?
a tremenjous read…

Thanks Dinetta0, that extra “j” reads a little Eastern Bloc? and yes, I do frequent the old weatherzone forums as Steve. There’s a little PNG thread in the tropic pages that makes for some good weather reading and photos. Lots of rainfall guff and stuff.
I am planning on updating the blogo on a reg basis over the next few days, trying to capture a little moment of my travels around PNG.
Cheers,
pm.

I have headed north because of work, but work just fills in the time between adventures and wandering around which is what my blog is made up of…
‘Twas good to read where GF is making the most of the extended potting experiences…

That sounds a bit strange out of context… but not enough to make me bother looking it up :)

It’s official…if it’s on the ABC News Online, it has to be true…right?

Thanks Dinetta0 :)
I watched the highlights on SBS tonight. I could remember the roads like it was yesterday, the climb up Snake Gully and then Checker Hill and then the climb out of Gawler again… My thighs started twitching and I think I got a cramp in my calf muscle on the decent of Black Top Road.
Awesome stuff!!!!
Go Lance!
Finally managed to work out how to save this blogo to favourites…
Gosh you write well…
