Feathers of Fliers Over 700 species of feathered fliers flutter across our island including 38 of the 41 species of the magnificent Bird of Paradise. Parrots of kaleidoscopic colours dot our towering trees. This and That. There are rental car counters, a bank and a duty free shop within the airport complex. Major hotels have a courtesy bus to and from the airport.
Taxis have meters but are rather expensive.
Currency Papua New Guinea's unit of currency is the Kina which is divided into 100 toea. There are K50, K20, K10, K5 and K2 notes and a K1 coin.
