Shopping in Island Provinces

  1. PNG Diabetic Centre

    Laugh all your want, but PNG Diabetic Centre is a treasure trove for artefact-hunters, with masks, necklaces, shells, carvings and other souvenirs aplenty. It's run by Paul Schwartz, who also works as a 'diabetes counciller', policeman and, should you need to boost your morale, a psychotherapist.

  3. A

    Andersons Foodland

    This supermarket is on the pricey side, but well stocked, including a wide selection of Australian imports. It also houses a neat kai bar just past the entrance, which rustles up tasty toasted sandwiches and stews. Good ice-creams too.
