Transport to the outer islands is quite cheap and safe!

Hello Gail.

I actually replied to that one. I suggested they should contact Alotau Enterprises (6411246) and talk to Bob Coleman as he keeps an eye on shopping movements as it is his job to send freight to all the little trade stores in the outstations. I would also contact Father Stidwell at the Catholic church as he has boats going that way to the Missions on Rossel, Sudest and Misima Islands. You could also check out Misima Mines.

Kinkys' first photo is taken from middle town looking down towards the harbour on the right of the picture and the harbour market towards the left.

Wagawaga is on the opposite shoreline and is towards the right upper corner of the picture (proberbly out of the shot).

Places to stay include Napatana Lodge, Masurina, Bayviews, Airways Hotel and there are some private homes/guesthouses for rent also.

Cheers
