Laszlo 10:11 UTC 22 Mar 2007 | Your question is way too vague, so here is my similarly generalized reply/advice: see the PNG link in my signo line, and existing PNG posts on this forum for a start. And maybe even a guidebook. BTW, a look at the map might confirm that going up the west coast from Port Moresby is morely to get you to swampy lowlands than to tempting hiking areas. If hiking is your priority, it might be worth investing into a flight to the Highlands, or at least to the Owen Stanley Ranges inland from POM. | 1
