- Are there any daleks in PNG?
No. I assume you are a Dr Who fan? Perhaps visit the Dr Who fan club instead of asking questions here.
to top
- Where is the british expats club?
The only one I know if is in the industrial area of Gordon's a suburb of Port Moresby. I assume you were asking a valid question about PNG?
to top
- The Gold Club?
Do you mean the club at the Lamana Hotel in Waigani? or are you after a club dealing with gold? Please clarify and ask again.

Umm, doing school projects again? Sorry I do not have that information for you.

- food?
I need a bit more information to answer that one. - Were you hungry when you asked this question?
to top
- how much do kangaroos eat a day?
Usually enough to survive otherwise they don't eat again. Sorry, seriously, I do not know the answer to that question.
to top
- complete name of the club which host the wimbledon tennis tournament
Sorry this does not fit into any category about Papua New Guinea.
to top
- What can you tell me about the US administration in Japan after the Second World War?
These Frequently Asked Question's relate to Papua New Guinea ONLY and nowhere else.
Please try google.com or ixquick.com or whatever else is your favourite search engine.
to top
- Where are the lights situated on a DC-3?
Sorry that is beyond the scope of the FAQ's for Papua New Guinea. Thye are probably in a position where they can be seen or used.
to top
- How much is dinner for one person?
I would hazard a guess that this could be anything from US$1 upwards depending on the type of meal. Buffets at restaurants can be anything from K30 to K60 (1 USD = about 0.3 of 1 Kina). Some hotels in town have a K12 special for dinner. This is about US$2.50 to US$3.00. At the local Japanese restaurant it might cost you in excess of K60 for a meal for one. It really depends on what type of food you want to eat and how hungry you are and how much you want to drink with your meal. i.e. spirits costs more than wine and beer etc.
to top
- what are Bren guns?
I do not think this is an appropriate question about PNG. I do not know of PNG producing Bren Guns nor there use in the country.
to top
- Is there a custom in PNG of giving a mixed married couple, as a wedding gift, a baby from a poor village family??
Not that I am aware. Many people take on the responsibility of looking after a child of a relative especially if the relative has died or is not in a financial position to look after the child - that is just a way of life in PNG where there is no real formal social welfare system.
to top
- I am trying to find the owner of a sword that belonged to a Japanese officer Nakamura who surrendered on board HMAS Burgekin on 8th. Sept 1945 at Balikpapan. The name came off his flag.
I do not think Balikpapan is in PNG. This is the PNG FAQ's.

- How many kangaroos do you see a day in PNG? Are there many on the street?
Just like Australia you have to dodge and weave your way down the street to avoid them. They are a real menace in the big city. Night time it is even worse. They hop in the front door and eat all your food and then escape out the back door before you have even heard them.

- Which timbers are used in the Australian Parliament House?
Not sure. Ebony is used in the Great Hall of the Australian Parliament House and was a gift to the Australian people from Papua New Guinea.
Otherwise the timbers used throughout the Aussie Parliament House are mainly Australian timbers.
oh, by the way this is the PNG not Australian FAQ's.
to top
- What is the population of Australia? / New Zealand? / Fiji or any other country other than Papua New Guinea.
I guess if you visted a web site that dealt with Australia / New Zealand / Fiji etc and not Papua New Guinea then you might just find the answer to that question.

- What is El Chichon?
What does this have to do with PNG?

- i have a few questions hope u can answer them all! what kinda of food do PNGs eat? what kind of plants and animals will u find in PNG? what is some information on religion in PNG? what are some imports of PNG? what is some information on the currency in PNG? thanks :)
You will find the answers to those questions in these pages but you need to narrow you search terms a bit.
to top
- How do you make fire?
I am not sure if this is a serious question or not? Here is an article on how the Asaro Mudmen make fire -- traditional fire making
to top
- what is the population of tree kangaroos?
Sorry do not know that answer.
to top
- what did people in Higaturu do after mount Lamington erupted?
They got on with their lives.
to top
- Is the small 20 to 30cm Garamut slit drum played with fingers or stick?
do the 2 terminals or handles each end have a specific purpose, eg. to hang it over the shoulder? Finally Were/are these tiny Garamuts really used, traditionally or are they adapted for the tourist trade. Sorry could not find a music section for the questions, Cheers

Sorry can not find an answer to those questions.

- can neurofibromatosis kill you? if so when do you die?
This is a web site dealing with PNG.
Please submit your question to a more suitable web site such as -- orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=A00050.
to top
- Where can I find an address for a person?
Try the Telikom PNG white pages. If you are lucky they may have a telephone and you will find their address that way. Otherwise the same way you would in any other country.
to top
- Can you give me some Handy Hints on Papua New Guinea?
In what area? Your question is too broad to answer. For example do you want handy hints on gold mining in PNG or handy hints on what to eat? Drink? wear? Or possibly are you after hints on what type of car to buy or possibly where is the best place to buy a house. Please get back to me after you have narrowed your question down a bit.
to top
- How much was a loaf of bread in the year 1895?
Sorry I have no idea.
(May 2008) It is currently anywhere between K2.00 and K3.00 for a plain white sliced loaf of bread in Port Moresby.

- real estate?
I have seen a list of real estate agents in PNG on the PNG Gossip Newsletter web site. Take a trip to -- pnggossip.com and search on that site.

- Inappropriate Search Term
One of the words you used in your search was considered inappropriate for a web site used by children, and others, doing research about Papua New Guinea -the word has been excluded from the search.

Please note that this is not "Ask Jeeves" - you cannot type a whole sentence as your query. Enter a word, a phrase, or several words and press search.
Please remember that this is a FAQ database about Papua New Guinea.
Doing a search for PNG or New Guinea or even P.N.G will probably not return much. Keep the search simple. i.e. if you want to find out the population simply enter "population" without the quotes. There is no need to have PNG / P.N.G or whatever in the search string.
Also - Spelling is important searching for 'inkom' will not return items related to 'income'
