You Aussies

[leefer]

A Question....looking at the way your country is situated i was wondering if Papua New Gunea is a big tourist attraction...it strikes me as being nearer than Tasmania or New Zealand if you live in the North of Aus?
Are there a lot of people from Papua who live in Australia?
Should imagine where you live Gibbo is fairly near.....tell me if i am wrong:biggrin:

Hi Lee this is what comes to mind when we think of New Gunea.

Hi Lee,

I dont hear of anyone in my area visiting New Guinea much. You hear more of people heading to Bali for holidays or they head south toward Brisbane.

Its a shame really cause New Guinea isnt really that far away from North QLD and would be a interesting place with its culture and history.

Thanks Glen...learned alot from that,like the statue of the Oro man with wounded Aussie soldier in Brisbane.

New there was action there but didn't realise it was that big of a shindig...i do now.

PNG does not have the great beaches that Bali or Fiji have. I'd say that was the main reason why not that many would visit, although I agree culturally it would be interesting.

Cheers Gibbo...my niece and hubby have travelled from Sidney to Adelaide today for a wedding...they are loving there time there.
They were hoping to visit the Gawler area but wont have time.....her dad(Donnami's brother) lived there years back:biggrin:

Maybe they will get to Papua one day

Maybe it still has a stained reputation from war days...abit like the English going to Germany for there hols.....Germany is a lovely country but not many Brits go there on holiday that is for sure.

It's unlikely anyone I know would go to PNG, they're more likely to go to Bali,Thailand,Europe or Queensland.

Me? I'd be lucky to get to Qld.

After a lot of reading there seems to be a history of cannabilism in Papua

Imagine the size of the drumsticks at that buffett!
And also reminds me of the cannibal who ate a clown....but reckoned it tasted a bit funny:biggrin:

 

[p.risboy]

Cannabalism. Well that explains it all Lee. Those Aussies are tough old *******s.:2fun::2fun:

No wonder they like us tender Europeans.:biggrin::biggrin:
