One of the characters is Rachel(the Rafters daughter, blond, mid 20s)has been carrying a PNG Bilum on a couple of the episodes. I think the bilum is from Sepik, definitely a natural fibres and naural dye type. What better way to promote a PNG product then to have it seen by millions of viewers, on free to air TV during prime time. I think this must be a first for the PNG bilum. This just shows how well it can compliment the western dress style, especially to those in there 20's outside of PNG and from PNG origins. I think it would be great investment in the PNG Bilum Industry if someone offered her couple of bilum pieces(tops skirts and dresses) for her (TV)wardrobe. TV shows have have great influence in consumer spending, especially amongst women here in the consumervile Weast Rob,

I visited the Cultural Centre way back in 1997, so great to hear that its still the same as when I last saw it. Wish we had more of these centres around PNG, even our National Museum could do with a bit of help... Nice, thanks for that.
