We have a new story written by Nicole who walked the track with Kokoda Trekking as part of Trek # 995. Moving!
"I walked the track with my sister to honour the steps of my grandfather. He was in the 2/31st he came home after his 3rd bout of malaria after we had reached the beachheads. He lost every loved one he enlisted with including his best mate Archie who was also in his battalion and after witnessing the horrors including Archie’s death he came home and never spoke about the war just kept working and supporting his family and living for everyone else. He has always kept in touch with Archie’s family and felt the loss of his brothers and brother in law. He just never shared the true horror."

Screen Shot 2016-06-03 at 1.48.23 PM.pngTreks 1016 & 1017: another tough slippery day today for this group.
They have now reached Ua'Ule Creek & it will be a 5 hour walk for them tomorrow so depending on what time they get away, they should walk under the archway at Owers' Cnr around 1:30pm.
Feel for Helen as she slipped on a river crossing so now has a sore back & knee but still determined to finish.
Trek 1028: This group are camping at Goodwater as planned and should arrive at Owers' Cnr around 8am tomorrow.
Everyone is well & excited & looking forward to a few beers at Sogeri Lodge on the way back to Port Moresby tomorrow.
Goodwater is crowded with two other groups also there with them. If the rain keeps up, they may need to construct a raft tomorrow to cross Goldie River their last river crossing before the climb up to the archway.
Keep going trek 1028, you are almost there.
