Bomana War Cemetery

Reviewed By aristc2019 - Bossley Park, Australia

A beautiful area to walk and soak up the serenity of the place. If you are a fan of war cemeteries and especially of Australian war dead, this is the place to visit . Again as it is located outside Port Moresby, it is highly recommend to ensure you travel with a reputable tour group or have security escort with you. Unfortunately Port Moresby is not safe to travel by yourself.

National Parliament House

The blend of old and new is strikingly exemplified in the Parliament House, which combines modern architecture with ancient design.

Reviewed By aristc2019 - Bossley Park, Australia

Apart from the Parliament with its lovely PNG art and carvings, the grounds are worth a walk around too. Ponds and sculptures are spread out and are nice to see. Also take note of the impressive art work at the entrance As to getting there highly recommend a tour as doing it independently is risky. This area unfortunately is not safe due to the high rate of crime.

Port of Alotau

Reviewed By courtresort - Brisbane Region, Australia

On leaving our cruise ship we walked off the port and out the gates where there are a lot of local people selling local tours. Having done previous trips with them to the volcano and also to Kokopo we wanted to visit the Submarine Tunnels this time. A friendly guy name Gordon took us in his Hi Lux for a negotiated price. It was a great drive through the countryside and Gordon was very chatty and informative. Upon arrival at the site a local landowner guided to the tunnels. This cost 5 Kina each or a total of 5 Australian Dollars.Now the interesting part. The best time to visit is at low tide as you can walk along the sandy shore to see them. We, however, were there mid tide so had a wade through the surf. Never mind. A bit of ocean didn't hurt us and it was certainly worth seeing, plus our guide was very informative too. If you are interested in WW2 history it is worth the exercise.
