Commuters along the Leron Bridge stretch in the Markham
Valley will not fail to notice the iconic ‘Peanut Boys of Leron’.
The young men, who come from the nearby villages, sell big
bunches of peanuts ranging from K1 to K5 to passers-by on vehicles.
Given that hundreds of people travel along the Highlands
Highway every day, between the Highlands and Lae, the peanut boys make a
fortune.
“We make a lot of money,” one said.
The ‘Peanut Boys of Leron’ are pictured here on Friday, Nov 15
plying their trade and have become icons, just like the Markham Valley and the
nearby Leron River. Words and picture by
