Trip of a Life Time - from Highlands to the Coast

A typical highlands mountain and thick forest shown in photograph. This is about a recent trip taken by selected group of people from last Karinz to the Coastal Lae by road. This trip had been planned 2 to 3 years in advance and raise funds for car hire and other expenses for the trip. Most described it as a trip of their life time.


As is the case for many first time travellers, many were amazed to have reached the solwara so fast only to be told that it was in fact the Yonki Dam.

This is now the Kassam - pass, the outlook where many travellers really feel the hot welcoming breeze from the cost and vise versa while trave lling from teh cols to the highlands. 

The group at the back of the vehicle somewhere in Markham. Most of them amazed by what they saw along the way, a longest trip by road.

 Now the typical scene of a coastal grassland. somewhere along Markham road.

 The first interesting scene they saw was the ship hanger at the wharf at Lae's voco point.

Typical local boys so amazed by what the sea does provide, easier transport access, fresh fish and of course a soft cool breeze to cool off.

Photos taken at the same spot at least to reveal some memories in future about their trip of the life time to Lae.

Cooling off from Lae's heat. Most of these guys are not used to the hot conditions so had to cool themselves off by the breeze.

Vehicle hired purposely for their trip. Contribution came from all the guys who travelled together which took them some time to plan and execute.

A few of the guys were nervous at first sight just to even go close to the blue solwara upon seeing the wave and the endless blue seas.

At the background in the wrecked ship which is on standbye to be demolished. It went up on the media by PNG ports corporation for its removal. Two of the boys who took the team in and around the city.

Now its no more fear and nervous. It is a must for them to cool themselves off before its too late for some not to have touched and swam on solwara.

Very first time to step on the the so called "Solwara" in the coast I think. It was the very first time for most of them to see and have a feel of the sea.
