Mendi in the Southern Highlands was reached down a dirt road from Mt Hagen in 1974. It was not a fast trip! One had to be careful of locals walking on the road and you certainly stopped to let pigs and dogs get off the road before driving on. There is only one road in and we know of someone who bowled over a dog and found a tree lying across the road on the way back. Compensation had to be paid before the tree was removed.
