Tents- I remember reading somewhere about the best type of tent to take???????? ideas?

Hi Kate, agree with Andrew. Seems like you can save some money and get a pretty cheap one – they are in every hiking / sports store. Just make sure you have the right litres. Your porter will be right (he won't even attach the hip strap…..)Sounds like you can get use out of a day pack, so you may want to get a decent one. These can double up as…[Read more]

I agree Kate, you can overload on information and then have it all swirling around in your head! Not sure about the type of pack needed given that you are using a porter. But I know that I have read advice on either here or trek company websites about this. When I go I wont be using a porter, so I have been informed I need a 75lt pack. The 'day…[Read more]

Trek 844 – Dec/Jan 2010/2011: The adventure of as life time. ranks with my deployment to Iraq in 2007 and patrol with the KNLA rebels in Burma in 1998. Thank you!!MichaelP1030099__640x480_.JPG

In 2011, with rents skyrocketing in Port Moresby due to the economic growth of 'Mining' and the new 'Gas' project, we decided to build a place where we could operate from.We ended up renovating an old boy house (domestic quarters). We now have an office, grounds to park our vehicles and a large two bedroom home.It still has a few things that need…[Read more]

Thanks for that…..I actually HATE bushwalking/camping etc, only purchasing as I plan on doing Kokoda in July 2013 and then again in 2015. Only asked about Denalli as it is stocked in my local Anaconda store and i was curious as to whether anyone had experiences with it.

We offer both Australian led treks as well as PNG led treks. Why not come and walk with us during the 70th Anniversary year and share the same kind of experience as other trekkers who have walked with Kokoda Trekking.Photographs:1. This photograph was taken at Isurava Memorial area by a Ross Eason a professional photographer who walked with the…[Read more]

Thank you Boss Meri, You were wonderful to keep us updated over here, I really enjoyed going into the web site each day, I hope Michael can get the boys to go with him again.

As I type this trekkers should be touching down in Australia following their walk across the Kokoda Track. Fun and games were had earlier this morning when the vehicle they were in along with another one owned by Air Niugini, got bogged in a river crossing on the way to Girua Airport.Help was soon its way in the form of a bulldozer to pull them…[Read more]

Thank you Boss Meri, I am proud and pleased for all the treckers, and especially Michael give him our heartfelt congratulations and looking forward to his arrival home. Maggi, Ron, Michael and Shaun.

Trekkers ended up reaching Isurava Village yesterday and walked off the track today.So congratulations are in order for trek 844 as they walked out in Kokoda around 12:30pm today. At the present time they are relaxing at Orohaven Kokoda Retreat. Just spoke to Michael and he said the first three days almost killed him but he caught up and finished…[Read more]

Heard via the grapevine from someone on the ground in Kokoda that the group were planning on overnighting at Alola tonight and will walk off the track tomorrow into Kokoda.

Boss Meri, Thank you for all of the up dates, We like to keep check on the determined men, I am sure it will be a life altering experience, what courage the young soldiers had to keep going, and also knowing that the enemy was waiting for them and the task of pushing the enemy back. cheers Maggi

Received an update from Wallace today saying last night they were at Naduri Village and today their destination is going to be Templeton's II.Michael is still finding it tough but is doing OK and is now past the half way point and heading for KOKODA so Wallace is confident he will get them all to Kokoda. He said the sun was shining today and that…[Read more]
