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.
