Goroka Warrior
Goroka Singsing, PNG
This man is from Goroka in the Eastern Highlands Province of PNG. The Highlands are made up of valleys and mountains, some exceeding 4000m. Possibly the best climate in PNG, the Highlands can actually get cold at night which is quite a relief. Australian miners found the people of the Highlands in 1930. The documentary First Contact includes original footage of this amazing encounter.

PNG is a snapshot in time, with the tribes of the Highlands seeing outsiders for the first time in 1930. Headhunting and cannibalism are traditional practices that were only recently subdued through heavy missionary influence. The rugged terrain maintained tribal isolation resulting in 800 unique languages and cultures. The few travelers who visit this amazing country are rewarded with an adventure of a lifetime.
