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 [2]High Commission,
Embassy or Consulate of Papua New Guinea to obtain a visa
before travelling to PNG.

Just in case you don't have time - or confidence - in posting
your
passport within Australia...a visa can be purchased at the
airport in Pt

departure from
the airport - obviously - but it may be easier and it does mean
not
risking losing your passport. (At least this option was
available 2
years ago, I assume it still is)
