    As for the two younger ones, Mason and Donna, well they just look so happy do they not?

    As we were getting nearer to the completion of our trek, we decided to have another group photograph taken:

    Day 9: We left Ua'Ule Creek at 6:00am and made it to Ower's Corner a little after midday.

    Photograph: Brett must have thought the hills would never finish as he pushed once again up another one not long before the finish line:

    This was a happy but sad day for us as we knew we would have to say goodbye to our trekkers who we had walked with for 9 days. We were very happy however they they had completed their trek and myself and my porters were able to offer our support to ensure this happened.

    End of trek 286 – a group photograph at Owers' Corner. Normally I dress up in traditional tapa cloth but unfortunately time was against me in Kokoda and I did not have time to go home to collect it so I improvised and cut up some rice bag I found in the bush to give my trekkers a traditional welcome at Owers' Corner

    Trekker comments:

    Alf Sullivan: I found the trek harder than I thought it would be. Thanks to the KTL boys for getting me through, I WILL BE BACK!

    Donna & Mason: I did not know what to expect, but we had a ball. All the guys were fantastic especially Cyprian. Without him I do not think I would have got through!

    He was fantastic. All the guys were fantastic. Arthur is a very funny man. Chris is very cheeky too! Thanks for a great time!

    love

    Brett Poole: From Day 1, I experienced the toughest time ever! The porters and guide made the experience for me. I will never forget the Kokoda Track and the way the KTL boys helped us.

    THANK YOU

    On behalf of Kokoda Trekking I would like to thank you all for choosing to walk with us. Our KTL boys said you were a wonderful happy group and we thank you for treating them as your equal and having a great time with them so they could not only give you the walk of your life but also you went home with some Oro Province culture.

    Perhaps we will see some of you again, until then, take care and thanks again for booking through us and walking with Kokoda Trekking.
