Where To Arrange

Those interested in surface transport in the NG Highlands should contact either Steve Brady, of Central New Guinea Tours, Mt. Hagen; or Mr. Dennis Spriggs, of Goroka Motors, Goroka. Both can arrange bus tours or hire you a car for driving yourself around town.

Both bus tours and car hire should be arranged as long ahead as possible.

Goroka is one of those odd places where it is impossible to get a taxi (because there aren’t any) but comparatively easy to charter an aircraft. Territory Airlines Ltd. of Goroka has eight Cessnas and one two-engined Baron Beechcraft.

Cessna charter is about £25 per hour but if you are willing to share one with a load of cargo already going somewhere, it comes a great deal cheaper.
