“Smooth roads near Panguna… but what about the rest of Bougainville?”

This drive takes us from Arewa towards Buka, passing close to the historic Panguna Mine area in Bougainville, Papua New Guinea. On this side of the road, the condition is noticeably better compared to many of the gravel and dusty stretches along the journey. The contrast is clear — sections of smoother road show signs of progress and potential, while other parts remind us of the ongoing infrastructure challenges faced by communities in the region. Bougainville is a land rich in natural resources, history, and resilience. The Panguna Mine once played a major role in Papua New Guinea’s economy and remains an important part of Bougainville’s story. Today, as development discussions continue, infrastructure like roads becomes a symbol of connection, growth, and opportunity. This journey is not just about the road — it’s about the people who travel it every day, the villages along the way, and the future of Bougainville. Is progress moving fast enough? What does real development look like for these communities? Watch the full drive and share your thoughts in the comments.
