The South Pacific island of New Guinea is divided into two distinct entities. The eastern half is the independent country of Papua New Guinea, with its capital of Port Moresby. It includes several island chains, such as the Bismark Archipelago and the Louisiade Archipelago and is closely associated with Australia, which is immediately to its south. As a result, it is somewhat developed in its infrastructure, although there is no road as yet joining the eastern portion with the central highlands, nor are there any land connections with the western half of the island. This portion is controlled by Indonesia and is known as West Irian (or Irian Jaya), with its major urban area being Sorong, in the far west, with ferry connections to Indonesian islands further to the west. The other major urban area is Jayapura, on the north coast, which also has ferry connections to other parts of Indonesia. Needless to say, the two halves of the island have little to do with each other. Both portions are definitely off-the-beaten-path destinations appealing to adventuresome travellers.
