Melanesian welcome dance performed in New Ireland, Papua New Guinea.
New Ireland remains largely undeveloped, with Kavieng, the capital, being the only town of any size. Unlike much of Papua New Guinea, the island inherited a reasonable road network from the colonial era, thanks to Baron Boluminski, an autocratic German administrator. The road that served the copra planters a century ago, gives ready access today to coral beaches, traditional villages and plantations.
