In this photo, part of my crew heads home across a stretch of lake bridging in Brunei, 1989. The lakes were probably old sand quarries.
We wondered where this jungle railway went when we stumbled across it while laying out our survey grid. It just seemed to start in the middle of the jungle.
This image is typical of the jungle canopy – all the branches and leaves at the top of the trees and barren trunks all the way to the ground.
Today’s photo is of the recording setup for an LVL shot somewhere in the jungle of Brunei inland from Seria. The crew member in the red overalls in the background is most probably checking the connection of some component of our spread – either a geophone or an explosives connection. They guy in the foreground is standing by the triggering device.
The foreman in this photo is not the onlooker on the left with his hands in his pockets but the man in the center of the team with the black and white striped shirt, using his hard hat to demonstrate some point or other.
In the photo below two of the crew port a flushing pump through the jungle. They weren’t the easiest things to carry. The coiled tube looped over the pole is the inlet hose. Others, out of the frame, have the fire hose that connected to the flushing tubes.
