A journey along the Highlands Highway from Mount Hagen in the center of the Highlands of Papua New Guinea to the port town of hoe on the northern coast provides an occasion for three streams of awareness: ethnographic locales associated with anthropological work; stories of past journeys, and their dangers, undertaken by our New Guinea companions; and an experience of present danger in the form of an armed holdup. The narrative holds these three streams together in counterpoint until the destination is reached, and the juxtaposition of themes mirrors the complexities of contemporary situations in Papua New Guinea, mingled with traces of anthropology's past
