A pub near a burial ground
p. 73 · Read in the full issue
There aren't too many Islands pubs which can boast nearby limestone caves used for centuries by locals as protection from the enemy and as burial places for the dead. But, one New Guinea hotel—Chimbu Lodge Motel, at Kundiawa, in the Eastern Highlands—has its own transport to show guests these revered caves. Also, near the two-storey 14-suite hotel, are primitive New Guinea markets, spectacular mountains and the busy Kundiawa airstrip outside guests' windows. Accessible by road from Goroka or Mt. Hagen, the lodge is owned by Mr. Paul Mason, of Inus, Bougainville; Mr. Fred Archer, now of Rabaul; and Inus Plantation Pty. Ltd.
