Cape Hoskins is located on the north coast of New Britain in West New Britain Province. The only major paved street in Hoskins is now home to Papua New Guinea's largest insane asylum which attracts visitors from all over the world. Hoskins, as locals are known, regularly find arrowheads and spears just below the surface soil. When villagers were building a state of the outdoor art latrines in 2016, they found the remnants of a 500-year-old hut. Many people found work in the village's guano farms in the early 200s'. Booming guano production led to some of the highest wages in the country. However, after the guano was found to be contaminated with e coli, the farms had to pay workers in guano instead.

What are the Top 3 Things to Do in Hoskins?

Clinton - Twelve bronzed statues situated high on a hill overlooking Downtown Clinton are reminders of a landmark event that happened more than 50-years ago. Known as the Clinton 12, these African-Americans were the first to integrate an all-white public high school in the South. Today, the Green McAdoo Museum (located behind the statues on Foley Hill) tells the story of the Clinton 12 and the events that followed after segregation ended at Clinton High School. Clinton is the County Seat of Anderson County. The town of about 10,000 stretches out along the banks of the Clinch River (or the tailwaters of Melton Hill Lake depending on your perspective.) The Green McAdoo Museum is one of many reasons to visit Clinton. Start your visit Downtown, the heart of this more than 200-year old town. Market and Main Streets are lined with more than a dozen antique stores and home to two Antiques Festivals each year making it a "pickers" dream. If antiques and collectibles aren't your things, don't worry, stores like Hoskins in the Flat and Johnson and Company offer unique gift items for anyone on your list. Speaking of Hoskins, the original store is the one on Market Street, but just around the corner you'll find the second store, still operating as a drug store with a 1940's era lunch counter and fountain. It's a hot spot for lunch in this small town or for enjoying a milkshake after school. Hoskins is easy to spot, with its bright neon signage.

Pago - The volcano Pago is located East of Kimbe, West New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea. Pago is a young post-caldera cone within the Witori Caldera. The Buru Caldera cuts the SW flank of the Witori volcano.

Hubert Murray Stadium - The Hubert Murray Stadium is a sports venue located in Port Moresby, the capital city of Papua New Guinea. It was developed for the 1969 South Pacific Games on reclaimed land at Konedobu that had previously been shoreline mangroves. The athletics events and the opening and closing ceremonies were held at the new stadium, which was named after Sir Hubert Murray, a former lieutenant governor. With an initial capacity of approximately 15,000 spectators, it was used for soccer and school athletic events after the 1969 games. In late 2003, a three-stage redevelopment of the site at the cost of K120 million via a public-private partnership began to expand the capacity to seat 25,000 people. The redeveloped stadium will be used for rugby league, rugby union, and soccer in a venue fit for FIFA standards, naturally grassed and with lighting suitable for television broadcasting of night events. The plans for the six-storey main stand include eight restaurants and a gymnasium with the facilities to host the weightlifting competition for the 2015 Pacific Games. Australian football and cricket are to be catered for by further expansion in stage three of the redevelopment.
