Kavieng, New Ireland (PNG)

Images from the New Ireland Province of Papua New Guinea, which I reached at the end of a Heritage Expeditions birdwatching/adventure cruise northbound from New Zealand. New Ireland and its neighbouring island provinces, notably New Britain, are spread across the Bismarck Sea, in tropical latitudes northeast of the PNG mainland. New Ireland remains largely undeveloped, with Kavieng, the capital, being the only town worthy of the name. This gallery presents images of Kavieng and surrounds, especially the harbour.

These images were captured in RAW format with Nikon D300 and represent only a selection of those available for licensing.

I think more New Irelanders need to develop a business mind and attitude to be competitive in the tourism business in PNG.

New Ireland has very huge tourism potential that is yet to be realised. Things are looking good with new development initiatives by the currrent government to transform New Ireland into a major business and tourist hub.
