Welcome to My PNG and Australia Travel and Tourism Blog

Well this BLOG is created due to the fact that my other BLOG Days Of My Life From PNG to Australia - 1968 to current went from the story of my life and a WWII Aussie Digger's Diary to the WWII History blog to travel and tourism in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Australia.  So I have decided to create another BLOG specifically related to Travel and Tourism only.  Most of the Post and Pages links from my first blog will be transferred here now, as I am now dealing directly with PNG Tour Operators direct from PNG who have requested if I can add some more information on their behalf on my BLOG.  I have no problems with so will be making a couple of amendments here and there on a weekly basis.



Student at Palmerston Campus at the virtual Travel Gateway which was sponsored by the then Northern Gateway Group of Companies
 I studied a Diploma of Tourism (Operations Management), Certificate IV in Tourism (Sales and Marketing) of which I won a scholarship with the Northern Territory Government (NTG) to study this, and a Certificate III in Retail Travel at the Palmerston Campus, Charles Darwin University (CDU).

My background is with the Australian Defence Force (ADF) [you can read all about that history in my first blog,] and I have a long working history in a whole range of other works which I will put on later in one of my pages.  When I was studying the Diploma of Tourism - I was mainly interested in Domestic Travel in Australia, I was not interested in  International Travel.  Australia is a beautiful country and the European tourists are fascinated with the Australian outback.  What makes Australia unique is that instead of driving from one country in to another you're driving or flying or training or busing (whatever it is that you are doing) from one state into another compared to Europe and the United Kingdom.  International Tourists/Visitors from overseas would love to visit some of the most of the way places that the everyday ordinary Aussie reside in.  I will be sharing some of my experiences with you the International and Domestic Traveller throughout this blog.  I must admit Aussies are a unique breed of people in this world.  However I call myself a Papua New Guinean Australian as I am of PNG origins before I came to Australia when I was thirteen years old.

Most of the time I do my own research as I travelled alot around Australia except  the Kimberleys and the Pilbara region and still some parts of Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania I have yet to visit.

I hope my Posts and Pages will come in handy for you.

Enjoy!
