    I see some double rifles there. Amazing expedition. Yes, 32 punctures in 2 days. Old 1930's vintage cars... 200 girls between 10-!8 years being traded for food. There has been amazing changes in the recent past.

    The thing that struck me was the absence of rubbish in any of the footage of town.
    A real contrast to now days.
    I look back over my own photos from places like PNG, Timor and India and I’m amazed the how filthy 90 odd years of progress has been.
