Sepik River Trip

I went on a trip to the Sepik River. Had a great time. It was beautiful but the mosquitoes nearly carried me away. Highlights were seeing Birds of Paradise displaying at Wagu lakes, Garamut drum demonstration and thinking I was going Pukpuk spotting only to find a dirty great big harpoon and axe in the boat - turns out they weren't joking about the hunting bit - and great relief when the only one we spotted sensibly got out of our way.


Here are some photos:
