Sue Hogg and her father Neil Sherritt flew into Port Moresby yesterday in readiness for their walk across the Kokoda Track commencing today 25th July.
Everything went according to plan, trekkers were picked up and enjoyed a night in Port Moresby before headng off this morning. On the way to the drop off point they were driven out to Bomana War Cemetery.

Both trekkers are doing fine as they get used to walking the hills of the Kokoda Trail.

No worries at all at this stage. Tomorrow they should reach Efogi Village.

Earlier today they would have experienced walking into the Isurava Memorial area before moving on to where they will spend their last night on the track.
