A visit to a museum as a boy prompted a lifelong fascination with Papua New Guinea, on of the world's last great unexplored wildernesses. It was here that gave Steve was finally able to follow in the footsteps of heroes like 19th Century naturalist Alfred Wallace. Growing up in Surrey it had seemed unlikely.
