Cost of living is comparable to Australia - so more expensive than moist of Asia. Eating out in reasonable restaurants costs between 50 and 100 kina per person - about $20 to $40 US.
The biggest thing is finding something to do - especially for your partner. i would recommend you buy her a car - a she will go crazy if she does not have something to do...
Security - be sensible and you'll be OK - don't get slack about it - and keep your radar on and you'll be fine.

i think u will be fine on that wage.聽 even with the family. to be honest POM hasnt got a lot to do with in the first place. seriously if you are considering a move to png it has to be for the work. i say this cos i know that most expats have no idea what to expect. there is no cinema in POM, no Mcdoanlds, no KFC, no decent supermarkets, its really expensive.... you go to work in POM. there is nothing else to do..
