Before jumping on the phone to call him, we were advised their phones lines are not presently working. He has just booked in there for tonight and will think tomorrow whether or not he will continue staying there.
He is looking great! Tomorrow we will pick him up from the hotel at 9:30 to take him back for a review. If and when their phones are working you can call him on the following number:
Gateway Hotel: +675 327 8100
Hey Luke,
Sorry to hear about Wozza, we know how disappointed he must have been. Glad to hear you are back on track. Stay safe, enjoy yorself, we are all thinking of you. Speak with you when you return.
Hi Mark & Mick,
It is great to hear you are all safe and so close to completing your amazing trek. Sorry to hear you are unwell Mick, dig deep I am sure you can hang in there. Good luck tomorrow, we are thinking of you both and many of our friends pass on their best wishes. Mark, Ruby has asked that you "hurry up old man" as she would like you to take her to see Ice Age 3 on your return. Love you and look forward to your return Marg, Ruby and Harry xxxx

Tomorrow the plan is to walk out to Kokoda and overnight at Orohaven Kokoda Retreat and return to Port Moresby on Monday morning.
As for Warrick, I picked him up this morning and he went for a review at the doctor's clinic and is ok. He still feels like catching up on some sleep so with rest I am sure he will bounce back. Today he was looking and sounding much better then when I saw him yesterday so all is well but naturally he is disappointed and is already talking about coming back but next time hiring a personal porter.

Everyone else is powering along and doing quite well.
Since writing the above comments we have since heard that the group have stopped at Naoro to give Luke, Tony and the other porter a chance of catching the group tomorrow as Warrick has decided to call it a day and will be air lifted off the track around 6:30am tomorrow morning weather permitting.

Hi Mark,
We are all glad to hear you have commenced your trek and are doing well. The photos posted on the site look fantastic and am sure some of the scenery is beautiful. How are you and Mick? We are all well at home, Harry is improving each day, he reached a couple of milestones today – he is sitting up by himself and rolling continuously from one end of the rug to the other. Ruby is great and cannot control her excitement with her impending stay with her cousins. Safe journey and look forward to hearing how you are all progressing. Love Marg, Ruby and Harry xxxx
