G'dayUnfortunate about the sore knee! It will certainly play on your mind but as advised it comes down toyour preperation and determination. No one no matter what age or fitness escapes a little pain.When i walked there was a gentleman in his 60's had a knee replacement with some sort of complications( muscle taken from his ham string or…[Read more]

G'dayall great advice. One thing i did not do but another more experienced trekker done was purchased a very large,super heavy duty plastic bag from a camping store. He placed that in the inside of his back pack so it lined the entire inside. So when he unzipped the top of his back pack, he opened this bag and placed every thing in side it .…[Read more]

G'day againjust read further back on the forum and seen thatyou are hiring a guide, he should be aware of local customsand arrange any payment rerquired for camping spotscheers mike

G'dayJust a thoght i had, I believe that the land is owned bythe local villagers and each time you camp a fee mustbe paid. This is arranged by the trekking companiesand paid for as part of the package. Maybe some onecan tell me if i am correct. I think you shouldkeep this in mind if you are walking alone, would notbe good to offend the…[Read more]

Welcome Porteri have only walked the track once so i am no expert, but did surprise myself by never feeling that i was not up to the challenge or that i was going to fail at any time. I would love to answer any questions you may have to the best of my ability.cheers mikmac

G'dayi noticed no one has responded to you yet. I have only walked the trackonce (so Far) but booked in with an established trek company. They usuallysupply your sleeping gear, rations and anything else you may need. As far as i know, ( some one may be able to correct me if i am wrong) each of the campsites are owned and controlled by the local…[Read more]

G'dayI have only walked the track once(so Far)and flew to Kokoda and walked back to ower's Corner. Every body tells me it isvery tough either way you go.As for trekking companies i believe itis probably a bit more expensive if you have an Australian Guide. Worth checking outcheerSmikmac
