Assessment of damages along Bukawa Coastline

Nawaeb MP, Theo Pelgen, visited Boac on Thursday, September 28th, to assess the extent of the damages.

While he had planned to go to Bugang then Boac, Wideru and Busong, strong winds hampered his program.

“We will try our best now to see the extent of damages and from there, create an assessment report to determine how best we can attend to the situation in each area affected,” he stated.

“The people must understand that this is the work of nature. We have no control over it.”

Visit Gawasang Guest House

One such hotspot is the Gawasang Guest House at Bukawa.

Wara Gawasang is formed by two underground water sources that meet up and flow down to the sea.

Located at the intersection of the two fresh waters is the Gawasang Guest House in the Labuta LLG – a little over an hour’s boat ride from Lae.

Owner, George Julius, built a small haus win fitted with two hammocks and a bed in Wara Gawasang, which has a depth of over 1 metre during high tide.
