Madang Town

I'm so sorry to upload new information late.

I would like to guide Madang Town.

Madang Town is the main town of Madang Province.

The land area of Madang Province is almost twice of Kumamoto Pref. and it located in North-
west from Port Moresby, the capital city of Papua New Guinea.

Madang Town is basically not so big area.

At first I would like to introduce the sightseeing spot.

The machine-gun beach is the place of recreation for Madang people. Lots of people, not only

children but also adult enjoy swimming here. The name of Machine-gun beach come from that

there were machine-guns in this are in time of World War 2. Those machine-gun belong to

Japanese army.



And then Coast Watchers Light House is only 10 minutes by walk from Machine-gun beach.

It is war memorial established by Australia. This is the most famous symbol of Madang.



Madang Provincial Museum is the place of culture centre. This museum was established in 1984,
and exhibition of traditional and cultural collection. There are carvings, stone tools, or wooden
statues and so on. You can understand the culture of Madang and even Sepik.




And I would like to introduce about The Main Town Market. The market is the place of food for
daily life. Many farmers sell their food products here with cheap price. You can find lots of
vegetables and tropical fruits. Also some of artifact are sold here too. Those are for souvenir.

Singsing in PNG

Singsing is traditional dance in Papua New Guinea(PNG).

Singsing, the word come from "sing" in English.

There are 800 or more language in PNG. It means that there are 800 or more culture in PNG.

Actually each village has their own traditional dance and songs.

When they play Singsing, they wear their original traditional dress with
accessaries which made of shell, pig tasks, dog teeth, feather of Bird of Paradise.

PNG people play Singsing when they have something cerebrating as

harvest, or blide, or initiation for kids.

Also they dance Singsing when they join Cultural show.

Their Cultural shows are held once a year in each places whole of country.

Lots of villager come together and compete their dance.

If they perform well, they can get honoralbe prise.

They think getting prise is greate statas of their own culture.

So they always practice and blush up their dance and singing.
The Goroka Show in Eastern Highland province,
or Hagen Show in Western Highland province,

and also Hiri Moare in Port Meresby in National Capital District

are so famous cultural shows.

More information for cultural show, go to website of PNG Tourism Promotion Authority.

A beautiful place, Madang.


I was in Madang in Papua New Guinea.

It's so beautiful place wher is coral sea, and untouched natural

reinforest with various kind


of fauna and flora.


In the sea, beautiful coral, lots of kind of toropical fishes.


You can enjoy scuba diving. If you were not scuba diver,

you can enjoy snorkelling.

It is easy to see fishes around coral.

For scuba divers, there are many diving spot around the madang


sea, it's easy to reach in 15 or 20 minutes.


Special points are school of ballakuda, with jack fish, Napoleon fish,


and when you are lucky you meet a Hammer head. Unforutnetely I've never see Hammer.


Also I have to say Madang Lagoon is basically good condition. Good visibility,


the currrent is calm basically.

My favorite season is 1st week in March. It's still wet season but no rain every year in this

term. So the condition is the best in a year.

Diving magazene pick up Madang sometimes, and famous photographers publish photo books.

Enajoy Madang Lagoon with books at first please.
