I managed to find some overpriced Aussie Beer in the bottle-o last week, so I have a 6 pack sitting in their waiting for the pangs of patriotism later this afternoon.

I have been invited out to a tiny local Island nearby for a bit of a wander with the locals. Might try and get some pics of the Harbour from a different perspective. It is an Island that is inhabited and tends not to get too many ex-pats just lobbing up to say G’day. So the invite has been well received.

It is fun… at times. It can also be a bit disconcerting at times… I’ve seen things that I never thought I’d ever see and things I don’t ever wish to see again, but I have made some great friends and I will have some fantastic memories to keep.

It seems to be one of those places that once you have lived here, you can’t seem to get it out of your system, and I know that when I do return to Australia, I’ll always have a soft spot for the people and the landscapes of PNG.

Hope you all have a great day.
It’s absolutely hopping down here, bumper to bumper on the roads, last night we watched a big fair with all the scary rides etc while we waited for a take-away meal. I can see the attraction for the young ‘uns, but us locals will be glad of a bit of quiet!!!

I’m not sure how I feel about Aus Day. Some call it Invasion Day and in truth I sympathise.

Hope I haven’t opened a can of worms…….

and I AM off to a barby. :)
