Trekkers I spoke to yesterday said it was quite cold there at the moment if you are used to QLD or the tropics. Victorian's felt it was warmer than back home. Apparently its been a dry track all the way from Owers' Cnr. until now.
Walking towards Myola Junction 2.jpgThis trek is now in the Templeton's Crossing area and tomorrow will head to Isurava Memorial for the night.
Eora Creek Bridge.jpgEric called from Alola to say they pushed ahead yesterday to Eora Creek for the night. Today their aim is to reach Deniki for the night and walk off the track tomorrow mid morning into Kokoda.
One of the women has a knee problem but will be ok and will make it to Kokoda ok.

Later in the afternoon after a short stop at Orohaven Kokoda Retreat, they made their way down to Orohaven Pija Retreat where they are spending the night before being driven to Girua airport tomorrow morning for their flight back to Port Moresby.
I heard they went for a dip in their creek before having some banana cake made by one of their porters.
