On the morning of the 13th, trekkers were driven out to Bomana War Cemetery on the way to the drop off point at Owers' Corner. The road up to Sogeri is pretty bad at the moment but the dirt one from Sogeri to Owers' Corner yesterday was very slippery and wet due to all the rain during the week so it was a pretty slow drive.

Trekkers are on the home straight now. Last night they were at Agulogo and tonight am not sure where they pulled up, either Ofi Creek or Ioribaiwa.

Trekkers are presently at Kovelo at 1:50pm waiting on one trekker Grant to catch up and then they will walk as a group to Kokoda and under the archway.

Earlier this morning they woke up at Isurava and attended the Anzac Day Dawn Service there. Based on feedback it was both emotional and powerful as all trekking companies stood as one. Following…[Read more]
