It may be marked Muyua on your map - but if you Google Woodlark or use Google Earth you'll find it OK - East of Port Moresby by some 600km. The island people produce some unique black and striped ebony carvings. Contact me and I'll send some photos of the types of carvings available. | 1

Here is the address for her web site. - Lost Frontier Arts. She has a great collection, whihc is always changing and I know that she has the best interests of the villagers at heart. Check her out | 2

ecomel 18:31 UTC 26 Oct 2007 | PNG Art is THE place to go for artifacts in Port Moresby. They have a huge range of stuff from all over PNG and their prices are very good. They will ship your goods overseas for you and arrange fumigation if required. Phone: 675-325-3976 Fax: 675-325-7809 I think they have e-mail but I don't have the address handy. No website. Susan Baker has left Wewak and is now living overseas. There is an art and craft website linked at www.wantok.net.pg | 5
