Waves hit coastline in Vanimo

Sandaun (West Sepik) province was one of those affected by hit huges which swept the coastal regions of Papua New Guinea last week.

Sandaun province, as many would remember, was the scene of one of Papua New Guinea's worst natural disasters in July 1998 when a massive tsunami swept Aitape and took the lives of more than 3,000 men, women and children.

Coastal gardens and roads were under water at certain locations for some time, which posed the real threat of washing away villages and gardens.

The tides also threatened to claim the East Coast Highway along Dapu Settlement in Vanimo town
