yarddog 05:58 UTC 21 Nov 2008 | Hi, I am planning for a trip to PNG in 2009. I will be in the Wewak area and I'm looking for help getting lodging and a local guide who can accompany me to look for some aircraft wreckage near the Dagua airstrip. Any advice/names/phone numbers will be appreciated. Thanks. |
