As we had a trekker to drop off at Owers' Corner they tagged along for the drive although Adam struggled to stay awake as he was out on the town last night. At Owers' Corner we took some photographs of the family.P1080145__800x600_.jpgP1080144__800x600_.jpg

After the drive up the mountain to Sogeri we talked about him commencing his walk today instead of tomorrow and spending the night at Goldie River and he jumped at the chance. The main reason is so that he can catch our charter flight back into Port Moresby on the 13th August. So instead of being driven out around 7:30am tomorrow morning he will…[Read more]
