After arriving in Popondetta, they were met by our staff and taken to the Popondetta War Museum before heading to Papindo to top up on some water, then up the road to Pija Village where they stopped for something to eat and a nice warm welcome to the Oro Province of PNG.

After leaving Piza they were driven to Kokoda War Museum, then under the archway and onto to the track. Their first night was spent at Deniki.
