Port Moresby - Post Report Question and Answers

Is this a good city for single people? For couples? For families? Why or why not?

Good for families with kids under 12. From grade 7, the schooling lots of families leave or send their kids to boarding school in Australia. The international high school (POMIS) doesn't have a great rep. - May 2019


If you can get over the security and medical issues, this is fine for singles, couples and families with toddlers and perhaps babies. There are playgroups for toddlers and below on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday around the city, so you can easily meet other parents (mostly moms). I can't recommend it for school-aged children - it is just too isolating, and the school is not great. - Jun 2016


It is good for families, couples, and single men. A number of married men's families stay in Australia for school/safety reasons. - Jun 2008
