When you don't want to go to sea.

Ugar, (Stephens), island.

100acre island with about 30 inhabitants. Barge comes in every fortnight. No channel to the jetty, the tide determines the barge size. Only way on and off is by a local taking you to either of 2 other islands. Depending on the weather it could b as quick as 20min or up to 40min.
Not uncommon to have locals from PNG do raids to steal what they can

Spent 8 months building houses on there. One day the local cop was speeding around on his quod bike with his rifle. There was reports of a PNG tinny in the area. When asked if he would shoot them, "hell yea and would aim to hit".

The cop was a big, big man. He died when I was up there. We had to use the backhoe to lift him into a coffin and into the ground. No way could 10 men lift him.
