We have a date with Port Moresby

Finally we have a date for our move to PNG...Janaury 23rd will be lift off for our quick shuttle to a world away in Port Moresby.

Most people, actually everyone, thinks we are short a kangaroo or two in the top paddock to be moving from our glorious farm in one of the World's luckiest countries to Port Moresby, recently voted as the second most unliveable city in the world and the most dangerous capital city in the world right alongside Baghdad.

I say, your a long time dead better live while I am here. Not very prophetic or worldly I know but I need something to hide behind and fake bravery and foolishness seem the best options.

So why such a dim view of Port Moresby?

This is a shot of an over water village in Moresby. Yes its not quite paradise...but then there is this...

but then there is the crime situation. Raskols are criminals who are intent on making the lives of others miserable through car jackings at gun point and general robbery. PNG has one of the world's highest rates of sexual violence. It also has one of the world's lowest ratios of police to citizens in the world.

but most people, nearly all, are gorgeous, friendly people who strive for a better life in one of the world's most resource dense countries, but yet also remains very poor and undeveloped.

and this is why we, on the 23rd of this month will be off to live in PNG for a while. To see if we can help PNG and its people make the transition from developing to developed nation while ensuring we dont interfere with their incredible, unique culture and traditions. Wish us luck.
