Workation in Lae: the essentials
Papua New Guinea's second-largest city is a working place: the country's biggest cargo port and its industrial centre, near the Markham River delta on the Huon Gulf. The Highlands Highway starts here and carries freight inland, and the PNG University of Technology adds a student population. Lae is known as the Garden City, and its botanical gardens adjoin the Lae War Cemetery with its Second World War graves. Nadzab Airport is about 40 km inland. Few people come for leisure, and heavy rain falls through much of the year.
