Hi Dita, No thanks needed :). We really struggled to find good info when doing our move.. Hitron is the main TV provider here, and shows plenty channels. Sadly, we don't get Aussies foxtel incorporated, so a bit lacking in the sports area. There ... Read More

I have to agree with brad-o-sarus rex, play by the rules and you will be fine. Rapes, Murders and carjackings happen everywhere in the world, and quite often this happens to people here in Pom too. It is important to take things into context ... Read More


Gyms in POM by krishil
Which is the best gym to join in in POM ? Something reasonable in price with good trainers and equipment and safety.

The gym at the Yachty is about K600 per year and the gym at the Aviat is a little less than that. The Aviat also has Squash Courts (2) and a great pool for a cool down. Some compounds (eg: Era Dorina) have a small gym onsite. Read More

Hi ya, my kids 10. 7, and 2 aren't on anti-malarials. We just use aero-guard mozzie repellant and make sure the kids cover up. We've been in Pom for 1 year now, and unfortunately I am the only one of us that has gotten malaria. Bed nets are great ... Read More


Fingers crossed by RJC
Have just applied for a job in POM and thinking if I get it relocating myself, my dog and my boyfriend! He would try to get a job with an oil and gas engineering firm..... Oh a girl can dream! Any suggestions on accommodation and costs associated, ...

No problem, There are no direct flights, however you can fly Virgin Australia with a 2 hour transfer in Brisbane. They book you all the way through, so it's almost like a direct flight. The trip to NZ puts you in Auckland at 1:30am NZ time - but ... Read More

Getting a dog in should be easy, getting it home may turn into a nightmare. We left our dog back in NZ and rehomed him (very sad). He was a very large dog, which actually would have been good - as no one messes with dogs here - they ALL ... Read More

Hi I just arrived in POM and I would like to know if someone is actually using ADSL from home for personal use. I found an add for ADSL with Hitron, PNG Tel Telikom and Daltron. Are they any good? I am currently using Digicel 3G mobile internet but ...
