Today we said goodbye to 13 trekkers who headed out from Ower's Corner – KOKODA KONQUEST team consisting of:
Lou Gambrill; Matt Carroll; Andry Whitbourne; Peter White; Kerry Osbourne; Tony Thrumm; Tony Walker; Greg Smith; Steve Monger; Peter Brigden; Michael Trumm; Paul Carter & Raymond Waldron
IMGP1722.jpgWe also greeted 6 trekkers who arrived up from Cairns today who will head out to Kokoda tomorrow on a 6 day trek.
Trekkers are as follows – all Qantas pilots based in Cairns:
Steve Smith, Dean Peters, Paul O'Halloran, Michael Leahy, Rod and Geoff Stevens
Trekkers seen here at the Gateway Hotel swimming pool area shortly after their briefing:
IMGP1725.jpgTrek 179 A, B & C have all reached Nauro Village and are doing ok
IMGP1711.jpgTrek 163 has also reached Myola Junction (1900) and they are right on target to walk out in Kokoda as previously planned. They will spend tonight in the same campsite as the trek above:
IMGP1717.jpgTrek 207 led by Pam Christie got away for a late start today and will now spend the night at Deniki. It seems Airlines of PNG are down to only one aircraft today and as a result had to do all their RPT flights before fitting in the charter work.
Fortunately, this trek is mainly made up of Qantas pilots and aviation people so they understood the delays.
