Neighbours with PNG.
From the shore of Saibai Island you can see Papua New Guinea. Approx four kilometres away, PNG villagers have a trade agreement with locals of the neighbouring Torres Strait Islands.

The Papuans travel across to Saibai most week days to trade with the locals and visitors to the island.

| This is the first market we went to on Saibai. Our first purchases were mainly woven baskets for the Pre-Prep classroom to store crayons, pencils and felt pens and child size brooms for the dramatic play area. |
