added) :
Australians require a visa to enter PNG. From 1 March 2014, Australians
visiting PNG will *no longer be able to apply for a visa on arrival.*
Contact the nearest High Commission, Embassy or Consulate of Papua New
Guinea <http://protocol.dfat.gov.au/Mission/list.rails> to obtain a visa
before travelling to PNG.
