Update 7th July 2019

Trek 1154: This trek reached Templeton’s Crossing last night with the two girls pacing themselves well and it appear so fit. Today they will head to either Isurava Memorial or Isurava Village for their last night on the track. Keep going girls not too far now and you will be walking under the archway in Kokoda. Picture them today as they make their way to Eora Creek and then up to Alola Village before reaching Isurava.

Trek 1154: This group have now reached Isurava Memorial. Tomorrow they will walk out in Kokoda. The weather is dry over the other side according to Pat. It will take approximately 5 hours to walk off the track but they have decided to stop at Hoi for a swim and to cool off before walking into Kokoda to celebrate their successful trek.
