I TOOK a few hours after lunch today (my off day)
to take some pictures of the main arena where the 5TH MELANESIAN FESTIVAL OF
ARTS AND CULTURE will be staged.
The spot is (along the Independence Drive) opposite
the PNG Museum and Art Gallery at the northern end and the National Parliament at
the southern end.
Here are the pics.
Photo: Signboard from inside the main arena.
Photo: Traditional houses under construction.
In the
distance (in the pic above) are the grassy hills of Hohola and Tokarara. Port Moresby has a lot of
such hills grassy hills – but when it is dry season, the place can be very hot.
There are no rivers within Port Moresby.
But if you drive out to the Bomana and Sogeri
area, there is Laloki River and if you drive along the Hiritano Highway towards
Bereina and Gulf province (to the northwest) you will cross Brown River and
many other rivers and streams.
Similarly, if you go along Magi Highway
towards Rigo, you will pass some rivers.
If you go past Rigo district’s capital of
Kwikila, and towards Abau (to the east), you will cross over of the biggest
rivers in Central – Kemp Welch River – at Saroa Keina Village.
There are many villagers situated along the
banks of the Kemp Welch all way from the inland Rigo area to the coast.
Goulubu is such a village in the inland area
while Kalo is near the coast.
