The Papua New Guinea Association of Australia (PNGAA)  is delighted to invite you to a special luncheon showcasing Pearl Expeditions in Papua New Guinea.

Ray Martin and Max Uechtritz will share their unique personal experiences, along with a sensational photo presentation from the 2025 PNG Pearl Expeditions.

Travelling aboard the intimate 30-passenger Paspaley Pearl and its zodiacs, guests will experience breathtaking scenery, authentic customs, and magnificent welcomes from generous communities — including joyful encounters with schoolchildren in remote coastal villages of Papua New Guinea.

“From dense rainforest to open ocean, from the moon-like textures of volcanic landscapes to the warmth and generosity of the people who call this place home. Every turn of the journey revealed something raw, powerful, and deeply humbling. Landscapes shaped by fire and water, and stories shaped by culture, resilience and community.”  — Josh Burkinshaw

Guests will enjoy a two-course luncheon, with drinks available for purchase from the bar.
