Sepik River 2010



The Sepik River Expedition 2010

Clark and his mate Andrew Johnson thought it would be a great idea to travel down the length of Papua New Guinea's longest river - the Sepik.

At 1200 kilometres long, the Sepik river winds it's way down from the PNG highlands and through some of the most remote jungle in the world.

The two adventurers spent six weeks avoiding crocodiles, rapids, malaria and bandits as they trekked to the source of the mighty Sepik where they encounters impenetrable jungle, landslides, swamps, trench-foot, mystery illnesses and villages that no white man had ever seen.

Once on the river, the pair almost drowned in the rapids as the river rushed down from the mountains. Having survived that, and determined to finish what they started, the pair traded for a dugout canoe and paddles the remaining 900 kilometres to the Bismark Sea and the end of their expedition.
