Before long we were bidding our farewell to trek 872 as they headed off down to Goldie River. I heard from my son Shane (trek 841) that they all got drenched as the skies opened up on their way down the hill:P1110046__640x480_.JPGP1110047__640x480_.JPGP1110049__640x480_.JPG

Happy trekkers lining up for their archway photographs, Grant Smith, Lara and Warren Turner and our Kokoda Trekking porters and guide Arnold Jinga:P1110042__640x480_.JPGP1110043__640x480_.JPGP1110044__640x480_.JPG

Our attention then turned back to trek 872. Warren Turner and his daughter Lara and her partner Grant Smith were soon lining up for their photographs. Warren often posts on our website under the name of Waza. He is so passionate about the war history and back in 1942 his father was the President of the Port Moresby RSL Club here in Port…[Read more]

We then got Bree so that group photographs could be taken along with our staff who would accompany them onthe track:P1110015__640x480_.JPGP1110018__640x480_.JPG

The three brothers were not too far behind and soon it was their turn to have their photographs taken:P1110013__640x480_.JPGP1110014__640x480_.JPG

It was decided that Trek 841 head off first as they appeared to be more organised so Bree lined up first for her photographs under the archway:P1110012__640x480_.JPGP1110011__640x480_.JPG

It was soon time to meet their personal porters who would accompany them across the Kokoda Track:P1110007__640x480_.JPGP1110008__640x480_.JPGP1110009__640x480_.JPGP1110010__640x480_.JPG

At Owers' Corner everyone starting getting organised to move off as dark clouds were circling above:P1110006__640x480_.JPG

Along the way we stopped at McDonald's Corner where another opportunity of a photograph presented itself:P1110002__640x480_.JPGP1110004__640x480_.JPG

It was soon time to hit the road to Owers' Corner:P1110005__640x480_.JPG

You'll be picked up from the airport, taken out to Sogeri lodge for the night and depending on which direction you are walking, either down to Ower's corner or back to the airport for…[Read more]

Hi, I have just joined as a forum member – planning a trek in August 2013. Your forum is great and the contributors are very helpfulI am also wanting to decide which tour guide to use for our trip. Wazas last post explains the queery that I had re: the host company's commitment to share and educate trekkers of the military history along the…[Read more]

This time every year I wonder if Walter Kelly is still alive. He remains the oldest person to have ever walked the Kokoda Track with us, Kokoda Trekking. His promise to the diggers in a Sogeri Hospital that one day he would walk in their honour, was carried out at the tender age of 81. Walter turned 82 shortly after completing his successful trek.…[Read more]
