Surprise, surprise, the boys want updates re the State of Origin match tonight. His words – putting my hand up for the maroons! so GO MAROONS. Picture the trekkers as they walk and through the Owers' Corner archway tomorrow.
Update: I sent a text to the sat phone and Tony just sent a text back: Congratulations to the maroons from the Kokoda Trail in PNG.
