Little town in Papua New Guinea

As some of you know, I spent a lot of years living in Papua New Guinea.  My daughter grew up there for the first 8 years of her life before we moved across the Pacific to Vanuatu (another Melanesian country), where she continued to grow up until she was about 20.   The link below takes you to a series of photos taken by someone who lived in the same town as us (we lived just outside town on a coffee plantation) and shows some of the secenery and every day life.   Today, several years later, not much has changed.  There is now a huge university in Goroka and a large teachers college, also a couple of large missions.  Goroka is in the Eastern Highlands of New Guinea and about 5,500 ft above sea level.  It's 4 degrees off the Equator and although a tropical island on the coast and lower lands, in the mountains we had snow on a couple of the mountains in winter.  A beautiful and scenic country with wonderful and colourful people
