This is a recording of Sékri Karémbu, Nakre Abia and Mea Bai. During a plant walk with the botanist Kirpiro Damas we sit down by the Morehead River. Sékri Karémbu then tells the story of Anne, the young girl, who was killed by a crocodile sometime in 2009. The recording took place near Rouku village, Western Province, Papua New Guinea.
