Description
C.19th engraved view of the Owen Stanley Ranges.
The Owen Stanley Ranges are a south-eastern part of the central mountain-chain in Papua New Guinea. They were first seen in 1849 by Captain Owen Stanley while surveying the south coast of Papua and named after him. The Kokoda Track which crosses the range between Port Moresby and Buna, was in use for more than 50 years as a regular overland mail-route.
