All these islands are in the volcanic belt which extends through New Britain and down to the north coast of New Guinea. Other attractions in Morobe include the Research Institution, the Wau Ecology Institute, which is a privately funded centre dedicated to soil regeneration and the investigation of seed dispersal by birds. The institute also has a museum and zoo, open to the public. There are numerous walking tracks in Morobe, especially in the Wau area. Old gold mining routes reveal interesting relics and wartime fighter planes can still be seen in the jungle.
Experienced guides are sometimes necessary on the more difficult walks.
The McAdam National Park is a 20 square kilometre flora and fauna sanctuary founded in 1962 to preserve the last virgin stands of Hoop and Klinkii pine and over 200 species of birds native to the area. Menyamya and Aseki are in the heart of Anga country, which is now a coffee plantation centre. Traditional dress can still be seen, and mummified bodies are one of the more macabre attractions of the Anga's primitive past.
