IMG_0876__Small_.JPGMissing you EVEN MORE now that I've seen you head off on your big adventure.
One night down. The Golden Stairs today – I am sure you all will 'step up' to the occasion!
Chief – Phoenix and Shadow keep looking for you! They won't leave me alone!
Missing you heaps, my love. I'm counting down the sleeps!
Hope you're having a great time – can't wait to look at the photo's when you get back.Looks a bit muddy for my liking! White socks!! Nice choice! Somehow I don't think there will be nappysan available in the next village!!
It's great being able to check-in here with your progress.
Feels kinda exciting!
Love you
Your Little Lady xo
Morning my family and extended family
Hope you all had a good night sleep – I cannot tell you how good it is to see your faces and know that you are all ok – and having some fun along the way. Oh how i wish i were a "leach" along the way – just to hear some of the antics i know you will be getting up to.
Gail is keeping us updated – today looks a little "muddy" – something i guess you all expected.
Spoke to Dannii last night, as well as Rosslyn, Mary, Nancy and Kelly. Just to let them know that they can check on their loved ones as well.
Showed Leah the photos – don't know why she called you daggy Dazza ????????? Perhaps a term of endearment??? How are the Pigeon English lessons coming along ???
Have a great day guys, i am so proud of you all – i must be the luckiest wife and mum alive – i think you are all amazing. Look out for each other – I will check in again tonight. Believe it or not, i am actually going to leave the office today – I may head towards Brisbane, because i know if i go to Ipswich, I won't leave the house again for another three months.
Take care my loves
Mum ( Di or Mother to Dazza )

This is your mother…. Just remember if you get into any trouble to go and see the Salvation Army, They will always help you.
Mother and Father West says hi to all and hopes that you are all doing well. They are pleased to hear that you are conquering the Kokoda trail so far.

Hi to my family and extended family
Another day closer to reaching Kokoda – hope you are all doing ok.
Had coffee with Rosslyn this morning – she and Nancy will get some messages through for Neil and Richard as soon as they can. Both send their love and best wishes though.
Another cold morning here –
Not a great deal of news from home –
Will check in again later today.

Update 11th August: We heard from the track that the group reached Ioribaiwa Village where they spent last night. The other group spent the night at Ofi Creek so they have split up and moving along independent of each other. In the other group the majority had personal porters and were able to move along a little faster.
I have heard that the group as a whole are doing ok just that the ones carrying are feeling the pinch but managing ok.
Today the plan is to pass Nauro and head down to Agulogo….will they make it….only time will tell!
As we do not run a boot camp, Rod will pull them up when he feels the need so depending on how they are going they could even end up in Nauro.

IMG_0920__Small_.JPGthey may even meet a butterfly or two as they move along the track to Nauro. Wherever they end up the photograph below will give you an idea as to how they will spend their night. By the time they get back home they will really appreciate turning on a light switch; flushing the toilet and so on….
We as Australian's are so lucky compared to how the majority of people live in PNG not just out on the trail but all over the country!

IMG_0960__Small_.JPGMy love,
Thinking of and praying for you often.
Hope you are doing okay.
Still handling everything okay?
Feet coping? Having fun? No doubt.
Am proud of you, darling.
Keep going strong – one step at a time.Love you – miss you. But you know that!
Am counting down the sleeps.
Your gal – always!
H xoHi ya babe,
I must admit I haven't gotten much work done as I have been eagerly waiting updates on your group all the time….. Ooops. Thankfully I am having a sick day today. Somehow gotten a sinus infection and a dose of bronchitis…. Oooops again.
Hold on in there babe …. I know you are capable of doing this. Work through it because you are able to do this. I am so so very proud of you…. Have spoken to your mum and dad too… They also are very proud of you and wish you the very best.
Hold your head high as you are achieving a dream of yours for a very long time. You are now doing it so keep on going. Look after your feet as they still have a long way to carry you, drink lots of water to avoid those nasty cramps and eat to maintain your sugar levels.
Thinking of you every moment and waiting for updates all the time. I am extremely proud. Keep going and I will see you in 6 days.
XOXOXO Kel
