PNG car wash (thought you'd like this one, Dad)

Mother making a bilum. There are many kinds of bilums and countless designs. She told me if she works all day she could possible do this in a week, but complicated ones can take 1-3 months to make.

Washing in the river

  2. Please define bilum and what do they do with it when they are done?

  3. Aunt Cathy -- I am living in a very Americanized house on station with running water. So unless I am tubing down a river, I do not wash in the river.

    Mom - bilum is sort of like a purse or bag depending on the size. They can be used as a purse, or can be large enough to carry your baby around in.
