Thor's Papua New Guinea 6
|
|
|
|
|
| Village life; Markham Valley foothills | Traditional village construction - more picturesque than imported galvanized iron sheets, but not always dry! | A busy torrent of brown water.. | Sleepy backwaters buzz with insect life | Suspended 'rope' bridge made mostly from local materials |

 |
| The bamboo slats made it easier not to look into the raging torrent, but you had to step on the sticks.. | A perilous and only link with the outside world | Pushing further into the mountains | They still hatch dinosaurs around here... | The river finds its way from the hills |
