Adventurers Club ep01 Papua Escape

Adventurers Club bids you welcome. You are invited to join an informal gathering of this international organization whose members have explored all the strange lands of the earth from the Russian steps to Madagascar. Here you will meet men who have dared adventure in every form, explorers, travelers, big game hunters, war correspondents and international

diplomats. The members of the club invite you to pull up a chair and listen to a tale of the royal road to adventure. I'm going to join you by the time we go to sea.

There's heat up and the jar of ashung and windows on the sea. And the wind is on the sea. The life of the... Without a single light in the pale blue sea. We'll sail the deep blue sea.

Robert, have you met Mr. Nelson? I think not. How do you do, sir? How do you do, Doctor? Our friend Nelson joined the club while you were away on your last expedition, Doctor. Oh, is that song?

Yeah. I've heard of that expedition and New Guinea, wasn't it? Yes, Papua, to be exact. Few people realize that Papua is the second largest island in the world, second only to Australia. Mention Papua and most people visualize it as a small island of the south seas.

Instead, it's an immense place of bush and jungles and mountains. It's due north of Australia and just below the equator. I noticed that most of the cartographers designated as New Guinea. But I prefer the original name of Papua gentlemen I suggested we drop some chairs and ask dr. Roberts to go on with his story at Papua

Well now just a minute I had no intention of giving a discourse on that expedition I'm afraid you can't avoid it doctor. It's been six months and you've circled the globe since you visited the club doctor I think he's due to explain where he's been how about it boys? That's right I had to plead on.
