Papua New Guinea – Intro (Aug 9 – 21)

Headed off to Papua New Guinea, with an initial stop in Brisbane, Australia for a couple of days. I’ll write more about both Brisbane and Papua New Guinea (I’ll be calling it “PNG” going forward) in the days ahead, though I’ll say that my primary reason for visiting PNG is the Mt Hagen Sing Sing Festival (and more on that later too). Back in 2019, when I went to Antarctica, I met someone on the ship who told me how wonderful this Festival is. So – it’s been on my list since, and now I’m on my way.
