Re: Crackers 60hp PNG adventure
Looks Crackers is exploring a remote PNG river in that little red boat, too funny, must be some interesting nights in some of those places ... http://esriaustralia.com.au/crackertracker
Hasn't been a post on his FB page for a while, I guess he has been well out of phone range.

Re: Crackers 60hp PNG adventure
Crackers' boat got a bit damp in PNG, and he was chased by Indonesian traders after someone nicked his cash - but all has ended well.
He is currently in Seisia, about to head down to Cairns, I think he is looking for a cyclone
His FB story is here .... http://www.facebook.com/FriendsofPapuaNewGuinea

Re: Crackers 60hp PNG adventure
Crackers in Cairns now, has officially ended his trip, at least the northern leg, he took a tow behind a luxury boat for the Seisia-to-Cairns leg because it was so late in the season after delays in PNG ... http://www.facebook.com/FriendsofPapuaNewGuinea
An unbelievable journey ... Darwin-to-Gove-to-Groote-around-the-Gulf-of-Carpentaria-to-Karumba-to Weipa-to-Seisia-to-PNG-to-Cairns and all in a 15ft old half-cabin hull with 60hp motor.
He had some great challenges along the way and got himself out of all of it, including ...
*Stuck a week on a Gulf mudflat
*Boat swamped in PNG
*Robbed and chased in PNG by Indonesian traders
*Motor failures
*Hit cattle in his vehicle when retrieving his boat up the Cape
Repairs were done along the way.
He spent several weeks living with a remote PNG tribe after delivering a load of useful domestic goods.
I am looking forward to having a beer and hearing his stories!
His journey will be duly recorded in North Australian Fishing and Outdoors Magazine.
