Sepik RiverRiver, northeastern New Guinea. It enters the Bismarck Sea through a delta about 700 mi (1,100 km) from its source in the central highlands. Because of the amount of sediment it carries, it discolours the waters for 20 mi (32 km) beyond its mouth, which is more than 1 mi (1.6 km) wide. It is navigable by shallow-draft vessels for more than 300 mi (483 km). The river's small tribal groups have extensive artistic traditions, known as the Sepik River style.

No references found | A broken down river settlement on the Sepik River in Papua New Guinea which had little to recommend it, apart from past memories. An amphibious landing at Dove Bay, near Wewak, in May, strongly supported by RAAF aircraft and ships of the Royal Australian Navy and Royal Navy, drove what was left of the Wewak garrison inland, augmenting their forces in the mountains and the Sepik River system, where the Army and the RAAF continued the offensive. During the following ten days I travelled in the Highlands and the contrasting Sepik River area to learn more of these people faced with making the transition from stone age to electronic technology within a lifetime. |
