A
main market
The main market, at the west end of the town's main shopping strip is pretty colourful thanks to the multitude of umbrellas used to shade the merchants. There are a few bilums (string bags) and occasionally, some small trinkets for sale; otherwise it's largely all local produce on offer. The dried fish can get fairly 'ripe' in the hot sun but it's worth poking around here to see if anyone has brought in a live baby crocodile to sell - usually with its snout tied shut.
This is also the main PMV stop.
