Relief from the hot sun at last…shelter found!

DCP_0180__2_.JPGRoss has found a good spot for some last minute photographs:
DCP_0167.JPGLets hit the Yachtie for some celebration drinks – well not quite – we have to get home and the road proves quite an obstacle almost as much as the Kokdoa Trail itself.
One of the pick up vehicles gets bogged and Steve had to help out and drive one of the vehicles as the driver had not done much four wheel driving before and was struggling somewhat……Steve to the rescue – much to the amusement of the EMTV crew and Annette – a journalist from the Post Courier:

Departure_Lounge.jpgYour guide and porters head out the following day back to Kokoda and here they are posing with Steve's walking sticks that he so kindly gave away to Russell.
Russell informed me they would passed to his son in memory of the day Steve Ovett visited their town of Kokoda. It is Russell's dream that one day his son will take over from him and continue taking trekkers along the Kokoda Trail.
The striped bags contain clothes and books destined for people along the Kokoda Trail that you were so kind enough to bring up with you for distribution.
Russell assured me, that would be his first priority when he arrived back in Kokoda to get some of the guys together and walk them into the villages.
