When I was little and living in the Phillipines, I used to watch these three VHS tapes of Jaques Cousteau's adventures through Papua New Guinea. They were given to my parents by family friends who had escorted Cousteau around the islands, reefs and rainforests of PNG.Prior to the stint in the Phillipines, I briefly lived in Port Moresby. Most memories are of the beaches. Of looking at sea-cucumbers in rock pools, digging for pippies, and making peanut butter at my kindergarten. I also remember throwing my sister's cat down the stairs (sorry Juliet).
I remember on one of the tapes, footage of a beautiful Cus - cus that had climbed up a tree and then got trapped as water levels rose. They ended up saving it and keeping the Cus-cus as a pet on their boat.My sister met Jaques Cousteau once and said he was actually quite boring...
