Cloudlands Memoirs

Papua New Guinea -- wild, exotic... closer than you think.

 

"Cloudlands Memoirs" is a collection of personal recollections of Papua New Guinea today. Perhaps wild and uncultivated, but undoubtedly beautiful, Papua New Guinea is the only country with which Australia shares a common border. A foreign wilderness right on our doorstep, Papua New Guinea is constantly drawing Australian attention for its wartime history, modern politics, and resources.

Papua New Guinea has been a major influence in the author's life since the 1960s. Laurie le Fevre and his wife Pat have lived and travelled in many parts of Papua New Guinea. They have worked in a variety of health, government and infrastructure positions. From a present-day setting in the remote Star Mountains close to the border with the Indonesian Province of West Papua, "Cloudlands Memoirs" ventures back to earlier travels in Papua New Guinea to compare then and now. These are stories of achievement, education, personal development, and Papua New Guineans who are making a name for themselves in the resources sector.

Delivered with candour, humour and honesty, "Cloudlands Memoirs" is an accessible glimpse into our nearest and most mysterious neighbour, Papua New Guinea.
