Living in Papua
Papua New Guinea is an independent state situated on the island of New Guinea, occupying only the Eastern half of the island, situated in the Pacific Ocean to the north of Australia. It covers in excess of 460,000 square kilometres, including the many islands off the coast of the mainland. Its landscape features mountains, highlands, tropical rainforest and the Papuan Peninsula, a huge peninsula also known as the Bird’s Tail. The sea surrounding Papua New Guinea is full of coral reefs which are being observed to preserve them for the future. The island of New Guinea as a whole is split between the state of Papua New Guinea and Indonesia; the Papua New Guinea side had been colonised in 1994 by the British who signed the territory over to Australia in 1905, but during World War Two the island became part of the conflict with Japan and Australia fighting for it. It became independent in 1975 after appealing to the UN but maintains a strong relationship with Australia. Papua New Guinea is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world; there are hundreds of ethnic groups, some indigenous and some from other parts such as Europe, Australia, China and The Philippines to name a few. As such, the culture has derived from thousands of traditions, with each group having its own forms of art, dance, music, weaponry and whole ways of living. Most have their own languages and rely on their own subsistence to survive.
