Book Description

International photographer and author David Kirkland has been photographing Papua New Guinea for nearly two decades. Drawn by its natural beauty and the country's rich and fascinating culture, David's photographs of this young South Pacific nation now circulate the globe.In this special second edition of Papua New Guinea - The Last Great Frontier, David has drawn from his library of thousands of photographs to compile a selection of many of his favourite pictures of the country. "For an author and photographer, Papua New Guinea is simply a fascinating adventure, with every new day presenting something extraordinary to record," he says. "The breathtaking scenery, the rich, tribal culture, the incredible extremes in the lifestyle of its people, all make Papua New Guinea one of the most amazing countries in the world to visit." But, he notes, much is changing as the country embraces modernity; in the blink of an eye, many of the sights you see today may never be seen again. Which is why he hopes this book will stand as a lasting and appealing testament of how Papua New Guinea presented itself at the turn of the century.We trust you'll enjoy sharing this souvenir publication of Papua New Guinea with family and friends and that it will serve as a lasting memento of your own time in this truly fascinating part of the world.
