Dayapi Seismic Camp is located near the Wawoi river, in Western Province.
The Dayapi land was previously cleared and used as a logging pond (for stacking logs pulled out of the forest before loading onto river barges for the coast) by a logging giant called Rimbunan Hijau (RH is by far holds huge logging blocks in PNG than any other logging company).
On the other side of the Wawoi river is another logging camp camp called Sasereme - operated under the logging licence of Innovision Pty Ltd (owned by a former Secretary for the Forest Authority). Logging operation is contracted to a group call Vanimo Jaya who originated from Vanimo so it seems.
A oil seismic exploration camp set up at Dayapi land on its own initiative participated in the World Environment Day on the 05th June 2011. 25 personnel from the camp admin staff, housekkeeping, helicopter loadmasters/ assistants, day security, storeman plus the few technical people got together and for their part cleaned around camp - A clean-a-thon really.
If not for much it was a team building excersise and after that a hearty lunch was served.
In the beginning and in the end it was all 'hip-hip hurray!!!!......................In the jungles of PNG, the locals know that the forest is their mainstay - when they see outsiders come in and do this as a special day, they know foreign objects like plastics and steel and iron should not be left on their land and they see a lot of it from the logging people.
It rained a bit that afternoon and since it was Sunday I decided I'll have a nap...............................
and nap I did; seriously - for 3 hours!!!
