Papua New Guinea (PNG)

I have recently returned from a visit to Lihir Island in Papua New Guinea (PNG). I visited a gold mine to deliver a training course. It has been a while since I was in PNG, the last time was up to Lae. It was a relatively quick trip with 3 days onsite.

Due to the flight schedules, I had to overnight in Cairns, both on the way up and back. It took 3 flights to get to Lihir Island, Sydney-Cairns-Raboul-Lihir Island.

For those who are interested, the aircraft were a Boing B737-800, Bombardier Q400, and a Bombardier Dash 8.

One downside to visiting PNG is that I cannot donate blood now for 2 years.
