Trekkers have now reached Templeton's area and getting closer to the finish line with every step. After tonight only one more night on the track before they walk off on the 8th. Keep up the good work trek 831.Trek 689 at Templeton's Crossing.jpg

Trekkers left Efogi this morning to head to Naduri and then on to 1900/Myola Junction for the night. All trekkers continue to do well.Naduri Village.jpgLooking back towards EfogiNaduri from lookout heading to Myola.jpg

Hi Andrew & Watto

Having trekked twice now with Kokoda Trekking Limited and observed other groups on the Track on both ocassions, I have no doubt whatsoever that I would not have enjoyed it any better, or experienced anything better if I had trekked with another Company. I too also tried to contact another group in 2004 and received no answer at…[Read more]

Trekkers have now reached Efogi the half way point so will be pretty pleased with themselves by now I would imagine. Apparently all trekkers are doing well according to Wayne who phoned me a short while ago. Earlier today they walked up Brigade Hill before heading down to Efogi.

Great song Debbie and I hope the boys are still singing it as their singing on the Track is an absolute delight and I hope you had the opportunity of listening to them sing, 'One Pella Mary', it is a favourite of mine and was sung on numerous ocassions on both my treks.

Best wishes

Waza (Treks 83 & 872)

Trekkers are now heading to Efogi where no doubt they will feel proud of themselves knowing they have reached the half way point. If they stop at Landy Noel's guesthouse they will enjoy their first sleep on a mattress since leaving Sogeri Lodge and possibly a massage should they take advantage of whats on offer there. Often trekkers have…[Read more]

i've never been there but i am going to,
i hear it is an indescribable place

The first night on the track was spent at Ua'Ule Creek. Kevin asked for a personal porters but all the others are toughing it out and doing well it seems.

Trekkers had a tough day today as they climbed up Maguli Range. I thought they may have pulled up at Ofi Creek but according to their guide, they were going to push on to either Naoro or…[Read more]

The guide for this trek is Kingsley Boropi. As I type this, our vehicle is heading up to Sogeri Lodge to pick up the trekkers and drop them at Owers' Corner.

No doubt by now as they sit around having their breakfast they will be feeling a little nervous perhaps but looking forward to the day ahead of them.

As the majority of this group are…[Read more]

Trekkers have just reached Kokoda Station, congratulations from all of us here at Kokoda Trekking. By 4pm they should be down at Orohaven where they will spend the night before they fly back to Port Moresby tomorrow. Well done to the High School Teachers and of course our staff who walked along with them. Picture them this afternoon as they…[Read more]

Trekkers have now reached Isurava Memorial one of the highlights of the track. Tomorrow they will walk out into Kokoda having successfully completed their trek.Isurava (8) 640×480.JPG

Trekkers are now at Myola Junction/1900 area so they should start to notice a drop in the temperature. The days are warm but the nights are cool so the two from Mackay they might feel it tonight.

Today they would have seen Kokoda through the Kokoda Gap so will no doubt be getting xcited as they head for the finish line in Kokoda.

Only one more…[Read more]

At 2am on the night before they walked off the track Debbie Pepper wrote this song:

We've been trekking the Kokoda Track
Trekking the Kokoda Track
Just walked 96km
Trekking the Kokoda Track

My buddy's name is Ramsy
He carried my backpack
He showed me where to put my feet
So I would not fall on my back

We've been trekking the Kokoda…[Read more]

Thanks trek 829 for choosing to walk with us and our KTL boys. All the staff are still here at our base and still talking about how you all got on so well on your trek and last night informed me the trek will go down in their memory as one of the best ever. As some of these boys have walked in excess of 50 times, so its truly special for them to…[Read more]

One of our porters by the name of Jenen Barai was the lucky guy who got a gift of a bike from Helen his trekker for a good job of helping her walk the track.

Jenen intends to enter a race with the bike during the Kokoda Day celebrations in November.IMGP1839 1280×768 640×480.JPG

The women in this group had to be driven back up to Sogeri Lodge so the plan was for them to wait at our base in Boroko until the two trekkers from Popondetta touched down and later after dropping them off at their accommodation the vehicle would be free to drop them back up the mountain.

During the afternoon after we heard the flight had been…[Read more]

The guys left first to catch their flight to Australia and were dropped off at the airport:IMGP1838 1280×768 640×480.JPG
