Abstract

An aerial view of Lake Murray, 185 miles north of Daru in the Western District of Papua, and five days journey up the Fly River by boat from Daru. The lake area has a population of about 1,200 Papuans who gain a subsistence livelihood by fishing from the lake, hunting, cultivating small gardens, and making sago from wild sago stems. The lake covers some 200 square miles and the water level rises from 20 to 30 feet during the rainy season.
