Hi Fluppy, just back from Kokoda and going back again on Monday. As for others, my son Shane looked up the statistics yesterday and it seems at the present time the website is averaging over 1000 visitors per day.
Perhaps our website is already saturated with information and people just read….often trekkers mention the forum so believe me they are actually searching around and reading what has already been written!
Photographs: Our new open area win haus which will have the first bar in Kokoda. We are going to call it, 'The Wantok Tavern'. Still have to build the bar and storage area but the main building has now been completed and tiled.

Wantok Tavern – great name!Good point about the forum being saturated with information – I know I read quite a bit before making any sort of post (even with all my questions

new bar looks good…a good cold beer is the first thing on your mind after completing a trek…and to start a discussion how about this ?……on the current affairs program with Brian Freeman finding the lost battle site at Eora Creek. Which I presume is on the northern side of Eora Crrek and looks down from the high ground to the village and creek crossing. I visited this spot in 2007. A local has set up a small area of collected items including the ammunition for the mountain guns. On the tree is a laminated picture of the mountain guns used…..so if this the same area I dont think this has been a great secret. I have photos of the weapon pits, connected with tunnels, ammunition piles, and other war relics. In fact the locals have a good setup which they charge 5 kina to look at the area. Is this the same lost battle site of Eora creek?

Crowie – I know the place you are talking about – as we paid the 5 kina to go and see the site. Plus the laminated picture of the mountain guns etc – we have photos of these too. I am not sure it is the same lost battle site of Eora Creek though…
Could anyone confirm this – if it is indeed the same site?
