I would be crossing from Jayapura to Vanimo, boat to Wemak and then loop back inland and west into the highlands proper. The plan is to cross the entire island. This is going to be more than 'problematic' I think but it will be possible using a combination of boats and machetes. Some of the locals with bikes have promised to come and help me hack a path through some of the jungle! The final destination would be Leh - shipping to Aus from there. I wanted to go to Port Moresby because my mum used to teach there at Segari National High - but by all accounts it would be a huge effort for very little.
