Everyone had gone home after the performance. Only us the trekkers sat around telling stories, Scott and Sarita brought out marshmallows, and we had marshmallows on fire. Man! It was very sweet, I've never actually tasted marshmallows on fire before, and so it was kind of new to me, unfortunately.Day eight, our walk was from Naoro to Uberi creek,…[Read more]

The night was spectacular with the full moon; the whole village was brightly lit up with the moon light. After meal, Ilyana, Scott, James, Nathan and I went into the house cook to sit around the fire. There we talked about so many things, Ilyana and I asked Scott, about, work and Rugby League. It was nice; the guys came up with an idea that Ilyana…[Read more]

On our way down, we dumped into another group of trekkers, from Kokoda Trail Trekking Limited. But they were going the opposite direction; most of them were, under the age of 17, strong and young, keen trekkers. Although, it was just 10:35 am, it looked as if it was passed midday. The sun was shining and the place was so hot. We were almost to our…[Read more]

That evening, we had a special delicious meal, complements of Mr. John McRae, who decided that we should have a different food menu for the night, which was really generous of him. Not only did we have a nice meal, but there was something to drink with, this time complements of the Polley family. The food was nicely prepared by the porters, mahn!…[Read more]

Naduri was just at the top; we had lunch there and continued later on to Efogi 2 and then Efogi 1, where our fifth camp site was. Before we got there, we came to a river where everyone wanted to wash, and they did, but not me. I wanted to go to the camp site and have a nice good shower. The camp site had two guest houses, one for the trekkers and…[Read more]

Thinking we had enough of climbing, there was still more to come, how exciting?Mt Bellamy was steep, and there were a lot of turns that we did, going up. The ground around that area was strong, because; it was a nice sunny day. After those rainy days we went through, it was a relief. Anyway, climbing up that mountain itself was really tiring…[Read more]

After looking around, we all went to take a shower, yeah! Shower, because there was a shower tap there. Ilyana and I waited for the others to have theirs first. The last two were Mark and Steven Polley, after them; Ilyana and I were going to take our shower. Mahn! The way those two guys washed under that tap water, was as if the water was warm.…[Read more]

Since Ilyana and I were the only two nationals, trekking with them, apart from the porters. They asked us about the food and how it was cooked. We told them what it was, and explained how it was cooked. They all found it very interesting.That night, it was cool, with a little bit of showers coming. That didn?t bother us at all, we all set around…[Read more]

At first we came to Kokoda station, a quiet little place that had a few people around that we could see. There was also a museum that stood ten feet away from the police station, and some houses with very clean and neatly trimmed grass all around the yard, but one place that really got my attention was their hospital. It was all cleaned up both…[Read more]
