The Mystery Of The Tjipetir Blocks That Keep Washing Up On To Europe's Beaches

Tracey Williams still remembers the exact moment she came across the bizarre object that would change her life. It was the summer of 2012, and she was ambling along the beach when she saw it - a plank the size of a chopping board inscribed with the word Tjipetir.
After some weeks she saw another one. She took to Google and only found mention of some faraway Indonesian plantation that went by the same name. What did it mean? 'I was absolutely fascinated by it,' she said. 'And I knew this was a story that was only just beginning.'
