In the jungle


I spent several hours with a PNG family going into the jungle or 'the bush' as they call it. While digging for bushhen egg, we encountered this turantula.


This is the boat ride to 'the bush'. In the background, you can hear Isaac's family speaking Pidgin and of course you hear the engine for the boat. 'The bush' is as virgin as it gets. Interestingly there are no monkeys. I know they have wild boar, snakes, turantula of course, lots of butterflies and birds.

Isaac's family. I find this picture endearing.
