    J.K. McCarthy Museum

    Set up by and named after a long-time Australian patrol officer in PNG, the museum has seen better days but, nevertheless, is well worth a visit. There are several large rooms that include World War II relics and many traditional artifacts from PNG. The most interesting section is arguably the collection of photos taken in the 1930s by the first Australians to enter the Highlands.

    Highly variable hours - never sure when it's openK5

    Raun Raun Theatre

    Performances are irregular and possibly infrequent (you have to be lucky to catch one), though the building itself is an interesting landmark looking somewhat like a collection of traditional huts fused together to form one big building.

    Rugby League

    League is PNG's national sport and most days there will be multiple games being played at the sports ground.
