PNG Visas in Jayapura

Hello all,
I'm the author who has just updated Papua for the next edition of LP Indonesia. I'm wondering if anyone has any info on WHERE the PNG consulate in Jayapura is now. When I was in J'pura a few months ago, the consulate was still at Jalan Raya Argapura, but there has since been a posting on Thorn Tree saying that the consulate has moved to Jalan Kelapa Dua, Matoa Ruko 6,7, Entrop. Am trying to find out if this is correct and, if so, get a late correction into the new book. Can't get through to the consulate on the phone so far. Any news much appreciated.
Also, there has been at least mention on the Thorn Tree that the border at Wutung is currently closed (possibly ever since there was a reported OPM attack on it at election time in March). Any news on this also much appreciated.

Thanks very much

Can't comment on the new (?) location of the consulate, but I think others will, just be patient.

As for the border closure, that has happened many times over the past years, and has always been a temporary thing. At least two posters here have reported crossing in the past month or so, so it obviously can't have stayed closed since March.

For anyone interested, I finally got through to the PNG consulate in Jayapura by phone today. They said their address is now Jalan Kelapa Dua, Ruko Matoa Blok 6 & 7, Entrop. That's the same street the Entrop taxi terminal is on. Entrop is about half way between downtown Jayapura and Abepura. Consulate tel (0967)531250. Current opening hours 9am-12 noon and 1-2pm, Mon to Fri.
