Papua New Guinea weightlifter Steven Kukuna Kari proved on Tuesday night at the PNG Power Dome that he is the champion weightlifter in the Pacific as he lifted his way to win Gold in the mens 95kg category.

After getting familiar with some of Port Moresby’s best hotels, the group headed to Tufi Resort to experience some of the natural beauty and rich culture for which PNG is famous. Highlights of the famil,…
The suburb of Granville or Town is it is commonly known has predominantly been recognised as a suburb for the wealthy or the executive. The main reason being that most of the high end apartments seem to be situated in this suburb and it’s not difficult to figure out why. The proximity to the central business district, million kina views of the waterfront and the neighborhood consists of properties that are not only similar, they are tenanted by individuals of the similar class.
