I am in Vanimo, West Sepik Province, right in the top north west corner of PNG on the border with the Indonesia.
Vanimo has been in the news recently for the local member, Forest Minister Belden Namah's controversial "border rangers" that he set up to restore law and order but ultimately ended up terrorising locals.
The climax was Namah hiding in the local military barracks after a shoot out between the Border Rangers and police. Such is normal life in PNG.

As well Vanimo is famous as a surfing location but sadly the season is over. So we see how we go. Pictures soon
