Congratulations are in order for Trek 810 as they walked off the track around midday today. Wayne was laughing as he told me that Stuart was just plodding along when the other two took off like it was a race to the finish line.The younger of the group it seems hurt his ankle so it was Stuart who walked into Orohaven Kokoda Retreat first before…[Read more]

Julia has been going really well. Last night she was at Efogi the half way point. Earlier this morning the group passed through Naduri Village and then headed down to Templeton's I where they are spending the night.Naduri_Village__640x480_.jpg

The group had planned on heading for Ua'Ule Creek but it seems the track today was very slippery and wet so we are suspecting they stopped at Goodwater Campsite for the night.http://www.kokodatrail.com.au/trakka.html?…id=KTR02-12-018

Other staff are Pescol Kageni and Moses Kanawi:IMG_0054__640x480_.JPGIMG_0055__640x480_.JPG

The guide for this trek is Eric Uwea from Sogeri:IMG_0056__640x480_.JPG

Trek 810: I spoke to Stuart and Kingsley at the top of Maguli Range around 11am. He said they were all ok and heading to Agulogo for the night. About 1 hour behind the lead group was Wayne playing catch up when he called in at midday. Not bad when you consider Wayne left Tom and his porter Jenen Barai at Ua'Ule Creek at 9am and was already at…[Read more]

I did the treck in 2008 – saw 1 small snake – I just stopped and it slithered past – didn't take any notice of me – no problem.
