Hi All, Have you shared your Kokoda story yet?

In 2012 we had the pleasure of welcoming Helen and friends to walk the Kokoda Trail with us. Helen decided in 2013 that she wanted to bring her family back to experience this great track. A painful story but a determination to complete the trek!

"I nurse a broken wrist as I recollect with wonder &…[Read more]

We do however require that a minor walk with a parent or guardian which you will…[Read more]

Congratulations are in order as this trek walked off the track today and under the archway in Kokoda. At the present moment they are relaxing in Kokoda before flying back into Port Moresby tomorrow morning.

The plan today was to walk off the track one day ahead of schedule but Goldie River had other ideas. Mid afternoon it decided to flash flood cutting off the group with several porters on the arch side of the river and the other group of porters on the Kokoda side of the river with the trekkers.

It is hoped by tomorrow morning the river will have…[Read more]

Trekkers spent last night at Ioribaiwa Village and today have decided to make their way to the finish line at Owers' Corner and walk off the track today. Helen is still experiencing some discomfort with her injured wrist and will not doubt seek medical attention immediately she arrives in Port Moresby later this afternoon.

Picture them today…[Read more]

Trekkers reached Ioribaiwa Village and had another tough day as it rained quite heavily at the Maguli Range area. Tomorrow they are heading down to Goldie River for their last night on the track.Ioribaiwa.JPG

A short time ago Wayne called in to say they have now reached Agulogo. Tonight they are resting by a river in peaceful surroundings. It seems Helen is still toughing it out harder than the others but is determined to finish. The family as a whole are doing quite well and enjoying the company of our boys and Sione's music.IMGP3467 640×480.JPG

Around 2pm this afternoon trekkers reached 1900/Myola Junction. Trek 858a caught up with them this morning at Brigade Hill and after a chat, each moved off in order to reach today's destination.

According to Horace their guide, everything continues to go well for them with the exception of the rain which it seems has followed them all the way.…[Read more]

This trek has now reached the half way point of Efogi. Last night around 11pm I received an update from Wayne their guide. He said Helen slipped over yesterday and badly sprained her wrist. In true aussie fashion she wanted to push on.

The others went ahead and she plodded up the rear but apparently is still being Helen, laughing, telling…[Read more]

After leaving Ioribaiwa Village the following day they stopped at Agulogo for the night. The plan was to reach Efogi but this trek has experienced a lot of rain and instead of pushing on to the half way point yesterday they pulled up at Brigade Hill for the night. This morning I received a sat phone call to say they were preparing to move out…[Read more]

Wayne just call via sat phone to say they are now at Templeton's Crossing. Stuart is up and away it seems and still going strong along with the two boy. Helen was last into camp but experiencing no problems, perhaps this time round taking it slower and enjoying the scenery.

Tomorrow they are planning on heading to Efogi and will meet up with…[Read more]

After dinner the boys have been trying to dry out everything by the fire in readiness for tomorrow where they…[Read more]

Trekkers got away to an early start this morning in Kokoda. After looking around the Kokoda Station, they headed on their way to their destination point of Isurava Memorial.

I heard from Deniki and again at Isurava Village at 3:53 that they had 45 minutes to go on the track to reach Isurava Battlefield where they are spending the night. Jonathan…[Read more]
