Rusty's Place: Trekkers will have the choice today of sleeping in one of the win haus's or pitching their tents and sleeping next to the sound of the river that runs next to the property. If you are wondering what a win haus looks like, check out the thatched roofed houses in this pic.

Terrific effort.
Look forward to hearing all the stories of mozzies the size of birds, and leeches from hell !!!Adam
Just like in this photograph with the group that came in on Sunday, trekkers will walk around the Kokoda Station and take in the monuments and war museum and no doubt relax with their porters in much the same way as the group shown here:
Picture_111.jpgI am not 100% sure where the sing sing will be today in the Kokoda Station or at Rusty's Place. If at his family block the sing sing dancers will form a guard of honour and trekkers will walk through them on the way to the refreshment area.
Picture_112.jpgFollowing the welcome it will be kai kai taim (time for food) in much the same way as can be seen here in this pic:
Picture_116.jpgAfter finishing their meal they will all no doubt either head for the showers or another swim in the creek once again like the group before them seen here in this photograph:

Trek 113
I just over heard, the group guide talking to our KTL 1 (Kokoda Trekking Ltd 1) driver Richard that they just got into Kokoda station, and will soon head into Russell's family block, which is not too far from the station itself. I'm not too sure if they will be picked up by the truck and taken to the block. But if they do get on the KTL 1 truck, it will save those tired legs and feets of their from walking another 25 minutes.Well I can't say much now, they?ve finally completed their trek after 9 successful days of hard walk and 8 night of sleep on the trail.
WELL DONE AND CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL. YOU?VE ALL BEEN MAGNIFICENT, ALL THROUGH OUT THE TRAIL, AND PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS TREKS I?VE EVER COME ACROSS. CONGRATULATIONS ONES AGAIN, AND LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING UP WITH YOU ALL WHEN YOU GET BACK INTO PORT MORESBY TOMORROW.

CIMG0581.JPGIf there are any drinkers amongst your group, they will no doubt spend some time today relaxing in their win haus with a bottle of beer purchased in the Kokoda Station like these guys in the photograph below:

Finally got a call from the group, who are now driving around the little Kokoda station to have a last look around, and take pictures before they fly back into Port Moresby tomorrow.
Bernie sends this on behalf of the team.
We have finished our trek, we are all happy, healthy and looking fit. We thank you all for your support all throughout the trail. We?re going to have some beers tonight and celebrate.
Well, again from me…
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL
