A new country in my collection. Many thanks to Eric! Papua New Guinea, officially the Independent State of Papua New Guinea, is a country in Oceania that comprises the eastern half of the island of New Guinea and its offshore islands in Melanesia (a region of the southwestern Pacific Ocean north of Australia). It shares its only land border with Indonesia. For this Cover Eric used stamps from two issues of 2004. The cover was mailed from the city of Ukarumpa, located in the Eastern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea. The current population is approximately 600.
