Is “Gordons” sometimes spelt with an “s”? That’s a question you might ask yourself as you wander this bustling suburb of Port Moresby. Gordons, or Gordons with an “s,” is more than just a tongue twister. It’s the beating heart of industry and commerce in Papua New Guinea’s capital. Here, you won’t find sleepy colonial houses or quiet avenues. Instead, prepare for a whirlwind of car dealerships, construction companies, and manufacturing giants, all jostling for space under the tropical sun. But don’t let the industrial facade fool you. Tucked away between the businesses are residential areas, where families call Gordons home. And for those who work amidst the hubbub, Gordons offers a surprising array of shops, cafes, and restaurants. Grab a bite at Ang’s Restaurant or browse the aisles of RH Supermarket. You’ll find that Gordons, with or without the “s”, is a fascinating blend of work and life, industry and community. It’s Port Moresby in a nutshell, a place where business and pleasure intertwine in a uniquely Papua New Guinean way.
