WHO

Beyond the northern tip of Australia, across Torres Strait, lies the second largest island on earth.

It is a land of diverse cultures, wild coastlines and soaring mountains. A place rich in natural beauty and ripe for sea kayaking adventures.

WHAT

I'm paddling around Papua New Guinea and you're coming too!

Launching from hundreds of kilometres up the remote Fly River, we're heading for the coast and not stopping until we reach the northern border with Irian Jaya.

WHERE

Feel the tropical breeze warm your back and hear the buzzing of malarial mosquitoes.

We've got six months and about 4000 kilometres of serious exploring and learning. Time enough for the unexpected to visit us, sense enough to take it as it comes. So let's get going, this is adventure learning and we're in it together.
