Flying over rugged PNG Highlands

Papua New Guinea: The way God meant it to be.

The people, the villages, small little townships; as if life has just stopped and sat there for years...... What a breath taking experience, the huts, the farmers up in the mountain no connection to civilization as we know it. When I asked Dave, who has been flying over the highlands for 20 some years, how does people on the top of this mountain living get things like, salt, sugar, fuel; the answer was they don't. If they do.. they have to walk for many a days to Lae (the port city).

They live with what they have.





Some more clips on the way to a remote exploration site "Wamum", connected only via
helicopters. The small cleared up patches are drilling site and the where you see the huts are the base camp, that get supplies from us including drilling etc form the
helicopter via long lines.
