The “Lark Force Wilderness Track Project” is being developed near Rabaul in East New Britain Province (Papua New Guinea). The development coordinators include the Baining Morka Foundation (Assoc.), Mesu Investments and South Sea Horizons are working together to develop a sustainable trekking operation that will provide employment, economic and social benefits to the local indigenous tribes and clans.
The story of Lark Force is a factual account of incredible bravery, courage, ingenuity, privation, luck and absolute tragedy. It is also a story of acts of despicable mismanagement, callousness and complete disregard of Australia's fighting forces in Rabaul by the Australian government and Australian War Cabinet in 1941-42.

In search of "The Real PNG Experience" Aurora Expeditions have teamed up with South Sea Horizons to promote this unique and exciting cruise package to the New Guinea Islands region with two brilliant tours bringing our sea loving travellers from Rabaul to Alotau (11 days: 18-28 April) and a return voyage from Alotau to Rabaul (11 Days: 28 April to 8 May).
SSH and Aurora Expeditions share a similar vision about the nature of their tours which places an emphasis on personal contact with the environs, visiting sites of cultural interest and bringing our guests to the most remote destinations along the new guinea islands coast.
Unlike any other cruise service in PNG, this cruise experience will provide comfortable travel mixed in with an element of spontaneous opportunities and adventures bringing that element of the unexpected.
