Nyapun was the first nomadic Penan to come to the Mulu Base Camp. He took Robin Hanbury-Tenison to visit his family of two wives and 10 children, who were camped near the Brunei border on the Sungai Litut.

This exhibition of black and white photographs acknowledges the friendship given and knowledge shared by Nyapun, his family and the Penan community, living in and around the Gunung Mulu National Park, Sarawak in 1977 and 1978.
