King of the Coral Sea

Discover an Astonishing True Story of Daring and Courage: A powerful testament to the magnitude of human resilience, The King of the Coral Sea is a gripping narrative of Michael Fomenko's legendary voyage. Witness the rugged strength that carried him through his darkest moments, as he paddled a dugout canoe over one thousand nautical kilometres from Cairns Australia to Dutch New Guinea. Faced with gruelling physical effort, saltwater crocodiles lurking beneath the waves, and the ever-present danger of storms and jagged coral reefs, Michael never expected to encounter an additional foe: the Australian Government. Hounded by the press and victimised by a government that saw a white man living in the bush as a threat to the social order, Michael became determined to triumph against the odds and complete his incredible feat.
