rivercrossingmenari__Small_.jpgUpdate 5pm 16th Sept: Earlier this afternoon Tarina and his group of porters and trekkers reached Nauro Village where they are spending the night. Everyone is still ok and going strong.
Tomorrow they plan on walking down to Ua'Ule Creek where they will spend the night.
D6_NAURO_PEOPLE__Small___2_.JPGUpdate 17th September: Trekkers have now reached Ua'Ule Creek where they will spend their last night before heading towards Owers' Corner tomorrow for a pick up around midday.
According to Tarina, he informed us it was raining heavily this afternoon so we are anticipating a wet slippery road tomorrow but hopefully the sun will be shining tomorrow and it will dry out before our troopy heads out that way.
Copy_of_IMGP0324___Ua__Ule_Creek_Guesthouse__Small_.jpgThese three trekkers walked off the track so congratulations were definitely the order of the day. Two trekkers were booked into Loloata Dive Resort and one went to a hotel in Port Moresby.
On behalf of Management and staff thanks heaps for taking the time to walk the track and for choosing to trek with us at Kokoda Trekking.
