Trek 924 – Trek Completed

[Boss Meri]

This trek got underway when they flew over to Kokoda on the 23rd April. Shortly after arriving in Kokoda they commenced their walk up to the Kokoda Station to have a look around the war museum then under the Kokoda Archway and on to the track.

Their first night was spent at Hoi Village.

Yesterday the plan was to walk to Isurava Memorial area and set up camp in readiness of the Anzac service held there today.

This went acording to plan and the group arrived mid afternoon.

According to Ernst Jinga their guide, the area soon filled up with other trekkers as they all awaited today's Anzac Day service.

Trekkers in this group include :

[*]Jason Bailey
[*]Robert Cordwell
[*]Garry Cook
[*]Chris Cordwell

Ernst phoned in this morning to say they were about to move off from 1900/Myola Junction around 7am and head to first to the village below of Naduri before their final destination of the day being Efogi. He said last night it poured with rain but this morning is fine. He stated these guys are quite fit and it should only take them around 4 hours to reach Efogi.
