And a typical dugout canoe paddling by.
At Tambanum village they had a whole mask and figurine manufacturing operation.
These are the boys at the crocodile pen in Angriman village. In the pen behind them are fifteen or 20 three-footers crocodiles waiting for the Japanese purchasing agent who sailed in every few months.
A dugout canoe for every size person.
Boy jumps off the old landing craft alongside the village of Mindimbit. You'd just sort of accrue visitors.
