Received news today that they have arrived at Isurava Village where they are spending the night. Tomorrow they will walk off the track as planned into Kokoda. Everyone is ok and continue to do well.

Trekkers are now back in Port Moresby and resting at the Crowne Plaza Hotel until they fly back home to Australia.
