Visiting as a tourist with his daughter in 2006, this Australian journalist became inquisitive about the shy and nomadic Penan, about whom he was able to glean little information. Without being put off by the rebuffs he received, he managed to pass through logging barricades to meet the tribes people who were trying their best at peaceful protest to the destruction of their environment.
