Attention any future Kokoda Track trekkers who are capable of performing emergency dental work.
As at 21 March 2008, Kokoda resident (Sylvester Barai), who is the aging father of my personal porter, is suffering from poor dental health and is in pain. He is no longer able to chew anything hard and is therefore quite restricted in what he can eat.

We at Kokoda Trekking would not hesitate to help out wherever we can.

I have also constructed a "modest" DVD of our 2nd trek which was intended as a momento for the trekkers in our group. Something to remind us of the reasons for being there, the hardship of the people, the difficulty of the terrain (and toilets!), the magnificant greenery and beauty of the ranges and not least, the wonderful "Boys".
I've found that other trekkers I've run into have found it excellent – despite not even being in our crew. If anyone is keen for a copy, I'd be happy to supply one free of charge. Of course, if the response to this is a flood of requests (I'm dreaming I know!), then I would have to reserve the right to charge costs – but nothing more. This is not about money but a tiny contribution in recognition of those awesome diggers who fought so hard – so that we may live the way we do.

KTL would also like to thank Dan for his kind words posted on our website:
Once again – I am deeply grateful to Gail and her Boys in KTL for this "life opportunity" and could not recommend them highly enough to any propsective trekker. Whilst on the track, you will frequently see envious eyes glancing at the KTL camp, where trekkers are well fed, well entertained by the KTL Minstrals and well managed by experienced guides. You are in very safe hands.
