Their schedules http://www.airniugini.com.pg/pxmisc/104a.pdf show direct flights to several regional Asian and Pacific countries including Singapore, Fiji and Manila (and, of course, Australia) so you could connect via any of those.

You may have had bad luck, but I've used Air Niguini many times and never had a problem. Can't say the same about Qantas.

I see they also do Tokyo in about 7 hours, which would be faster than going to Oz, but it may not be cheaper. How are the Rascals these days ?
