    Text message received today: Hi Gail, good evening to you. I'm now at Dump 1 Mt Bellamy base camp called Lukobo. Trekkers have done well today. They are all good and very happy about the boys, loved singing last night especially the track version of the song 'The Old McDonald had a farm'.Big campfire and singing again tonight. Tomorrow we head to Launumu, Efogi 2.

    Trekkers spent last night at Launumu (Efogi II). This morning round 10:30 found them at Brigade Hill. Still having fun and moving ok as they head towards Agulogo for the night.

    Today they ran into another of our groups heading int he opposite direction where I believe they shared some stories while their guides called me up for their updates.

    This trek has now reached Ioribaiwa Village. No doubt they are relaxing around a fire listening to music if not already asleep as people turn in early out on the trail. Tomorrow they head down to Goldie River for their last night on the track. Everyone continues to do well.

    Think of them tonight sitting around a campfire at Goldie River enjoying their last night of their walk. Tomorrow they will walk up the hill and under the archway around 8am in the morning.

    Congratulations are in order for this trek as they walked under the Owers' Corner archway earlier today and at the present time are on their way back to Australia. Well done everyone, trust great memories for you all.
