      How often do they need to travel to and from PNG and do they need to go to Thursday Island often, if so how do they get there and what boats do they use?

        Hi Liam,

        Given Saibai Island’s proximity to PNG, there is strong trade, cultural, and familial ties between the communities.

        Since Thursday Island is bit further in distance from Saibai, travel is less common (but does still occur).

        For information on boats, please see this previous forum post – Current Boating Framework on Saibai Island.

        Hope that helps.

        Cheers,
        Anthony
