Maureen and I would love to wish everyone reading this post a most enjoyable Christmas day together where possible with family and friends we hope that this is one day is a very special one for you all.
We all have them, health or other, so put all your problems behind you for the day and enjoy every moment of it.
It is our hope that 2010 brings you all a year of good health, success in those ventures you have, many enjoyable and memorable times.
These wishes go specially to Gail, Russel and the entire KTL team who have in some way touched all those of us who have trekked Kokoda. It is a pity that the boys do not get to read these posts so if it is at all possible Gail to pass our wishes on to them.
Enjoy
Maureen and BrianMerry Xmas to you too Brian and everyone else on the forum…..I have given myself a Xmas present this year that I am looking forward to….A walk on the South Coast Track in Tassie just after Xmas….famous quote from "The Castle"……………."ahhhh the Serenity"
so Merry Xmas everyone….take my tip…shout yourself a Xmas present this Year
Do hope that you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Great New Year.
May 2010 bring each of you a year of Good Health and many happy and memorable times.Happy Christmas… and here's wishing you all more laughter, more happiness, more luck and more rain in 2010 ( well, maybe not those of you living in PNG!!). Cheers all, and look forward to catching up early next year.
I also extend Seasons Greetings to all and wish everyone best wishes for the New Year.
As Lorna alluded too, it is an appropriate time to reflect on how fortunate we in Australia are to live in such a prosperous and stable country.
Friends of mine who also keep in touch with PNG affairs reported to me recently, quite disturbing cirtcumstances which continue to persist in PNG, many of which are all too frequently reported upon in the media and observed by us all whilst trekking Kokoda.
A recent report surrounded the cost of 8 Million kina to send a PNG government delegation of 30 to Copenhagen for the climate summit.
All this money whilst Popondetta Hospital, for example, servicing a larger surrounding population than Kokoda, has virtually no medical equipment or supplies.
Somehow I think PNG priorities are a little askew, not to mention the corruption which obviously goes on at the highest level. The reported attempted recent assasination attempt on their Anti- Corruption Commissioner is most disturbing.Again, best wishes to all for the festive season.

How sad is this – I am logged on to this forum to talk about my addiction on Christmas day lol!
Anyway, hope everyone has had a brilliant Christmas this year in 2009. May 2010 bring many more adventures at Kokoda and much joy & happiness to all those in PNG as well as trekkers worldwide
Do the villagers celebrate Christmas?
Have a good one everybody!!!
