Melbourne: Lansdowne Press, 1966. Hardcover. Very Good. Hardcover. Third edition. This is the story of Charles Karius's expedition across New Guinea in 1928. It includes stories of head-hunters and more. According to the jacket: "This new edition comes as Australian and Indonesian authorities are preparing to make a similar journey to mark the boundaries of Papua-New Gunea and West Irian. It is apt, therefore, taht in a special 'postscript' chapter, Mr. Champion now surveys the changes that have taken place since Karius made his journey and forecasts how they will affect the future of the island."
