In Wamena, the ditch has been practically finished.

The men have the obligation to do the hard work of digging, the construction of large drainage ditches. It makes use of crop rotation and thus you can see plots everywhere, who's appearance looks unkempt. One day, however, such a piece of land is back into use, and then the men first took office. This image is in Wamena.

In MOANEMANI there has been running for many years a stock project. Livestock farming was something unknown in New Guinea. On a farm in Sentani get youngsters a chance, a few things to learn in terms of livestock and arable: vegetables that they do not yet know.

And this is just a scene in a kampong. The pigs run - inside the fence, of course - freely. In the Dutch period there were white pigs, and since then it has been spotted pig.

A couple on the road, with a carrying-net it full of vegetables, he has a bigger big on the shoulder. This was near Wamena area.

Twee Papua's kwamen ook voorbij, met een varken aan een stok gebonden - de normale manier om een groter beest te vervoeren. Biggetjes worden vaak in het draagnet meegenomen, soms samen met de baby.

Obviously, the latter now almost history. The paper money is now ubiquitous.

When Indonesia finally thrown out the colonialists, this also had postal thought. Therefore, a series of three stamps with the entire "emerald belt" on it, and the two points from Sabang to Merauke a red and white flag.

Commentaar maker foto: stukje erts uit de beroemde/beruchte kopermijn Freeport, aan de zuidkust. Het blinkt van het goud. Men beweert dat dit het beste erts van de hele wereld is. Men heeft nieuwe concessies gesloten die de weg openen, het hele gebergte tot aan de grens te exploiteren. Door de minderwaardige aanpak van de regering heerst er altijd een gewapende "vrede" met de plaatselijke bevolking. Het laatste woord is hierover nog niet gezegd, en er zal nog heel wat bloed vloeien, voordat de situatie geklaard is.
