An Australian Catholic priest accused of child abuse is preparing to return to Australia from his home of 30 years in Papua New Guinea.
Father Roger Mount is expected to arrive in Port Moresby on Thursday, the first step in his journey back to Australia.
The elderly priest, who was formerly a brother with the St John of God order, has been living in PNG without a visa.
Mount has been accused of abusing boys in his care at St John of God institutions in Australia in the 1960s, Fairfax Media has reported.
He was known as Brother Gabriel Mount at the time.
A former resident of the Kendall Grange home in NSW alleges that Mount abused him when he was 12 years old, Fairfax reported.
