This blog is a one man "show" and there is no "organisation", no secretaries, no research officers nor any other staff.I do have a couple of ideas for you to follow-up but these would involve actually you visiting Lae and talking to some of the old-timers as well as a trip to Salamaua to chat with the locals. My guess is that this is going to be difficult a la remote control unless you already have reliable contacts around Lae.I can be contacted directly via the contact form on my blog (top of the right hand column - there is a smallish icon that looks like an envelope and when clicked will take you to: <a href="http://www.trupela.com/contact/" rel="nofollow">http://www.trupela.com/contact/</a>Cheers,Robert Hi Peter,

I just couldn't see where to send personal emails from your site. Great site by the way. If there is someone in your organization who could spare a moment, could you possibly provide me with some research leads. I am researching for a possible documentary about an Australian man who went missing near Lae.Some timber workers found a dying man in a canoe and subsequently took the body to Lae.These are the details I have: (approx 1997)I am informed by the Australian High Commission and believe that they were told the following information by Mr Phillip Cullen as set out in their letter to me annexed marked H to this affidavit:(1) That a Mr Timothy Yongon who provided security for the Timber Producers Marketing Cooperation which is located on the river at Kui Village near Salamau south of Lae first sighted the man believed to be VICTOR.(2) That a Mr Stanley Nemdeks the security supervisor at the logging camp advised Mr Phillip Cullen the man was Caucasian and was found lying naked in a canoe and this canoe was brought ashore at the logging camp.If there is anyone in your organization who might be kind enough to give me some direction how to locate anyone mentioned above or others who have info, I would greatly appreciate it. The body was inferred to be Victor Flanagan who walked 'naked' across Australia and canoed to New Guinea. He gained worldwide notice when he was declared dead in 1998 and it was learnt that he had walked away from an estate worth 4 million dollars Australian. Fascinating story. contacts from the timber camp where the dying person was found, or others, would be of great assistance to our story.Any leads or ideas would be appreciatedyours sincerely-- Peter Strain giant.tides@gmail.com www.gianttides.com.au PO Box 2998, Broome.

I am researching for a possible documentary about an Australian man who went missing near Lae.

Some timber workers found a dying man in a canoe and subsequently took the body to Lae.

These are the details I have: (approx 1997)

I am informed by the Australian High Commission and believe that they were told the following information by Mr Phillip Cullen as set out in their letter to me annexed marked H to this affidavit:

(1) That a Mr Timothy Yongon who provided security for the Timber Producers Marketing Cooperation which is located on the river at Kui Village near Salamau south of Lae first sighted the man believed to be VICTOR.

(2) That a Mr Stanley Nemdeks the security supervisor at the logging camp advised Mr Phillip Cullen the man was Caucasian and was found lying naked in a canoe and this canoe was brought ashore at the logging camp.

If there is anyone in your organization who might be kind enough to give me some direction how to locate anyone mentioned above or others who have info, I would greatly appreciate it. The body was inferred to be Victor Flanagan who walked ‘naked’ across Australia and canoed to New Guinea. He gained worldwide notice when he was declared dead in 1998 and it was learnt that he had walked away from an estate worth 4 million dollars Australian. Fascinating story. contacts from the timber camp where the dying person was found, or others, would be of great assistance to our story.

Any leads or ideas would be appreciated

yours sincerely
