I thought the whole show was going to be about him, vey disapointing, but gee, what a great guy.

Hi Eve.Your right about the positive press.Its normally all doom and gloom, death and carnage. Something like this will help balance it out a bit.

when we got back to Sydney we claimed for 3 new cameras , a pack and some clothing and never had a problem.The only thing we couldnt claim back was the money that was stolen from us.

The guy truly is amazing.He was interveiwed on 2Gb radio this afternoon. I pulled my truck over so I could listen properly.

I agree with both Mrs Moo and Eve.They are not your average bathrooms.

that sounds ok. I might have a look at that.

Good on you Fluppy and Mr Fluppy.We stayed at Orohaven for one night before our trek and were very impressed. Its got the biggest pool Ive ever seen at a resort.Editor's Note: Assume Peter you are referring to the three creeks adjacent to the property!When I was there last week being the dry season, the first creek had running water but not much;…[Read more]

Its a small world Lorna,we had a reunion as well. A couple of the girls who were with us on our walk in July (Wendy and Terry) flew in from South Ozz to do the 7 bridges walk around Sydney and we were discussing Fluppy quite a bit. Everyone was quite concerned about he wellbeing.Hi Gail, thanks for the news on fluppy.

hot blooded huh,,,,,I best not go there.

You must have been in the polar region of PNG.

I was thinking the same thing Lorna,most of the sites are like bowling greens.

some of the companys own the accommodation at some of the camp sites

the public internet is in a small office just off the main foyer. They have 2 computers in there.

Lorna.Sharks need a balanced diet, a bit of vegetable with their meat would be good for them.I did a lot of diving in the military, normally we wouldnt go near the water unless it was in June or july. Our military bosses seemed to have an aversion to letting us in the water when it was nice and sunny.There would be some great wecks in PNG to dive on.

I know this sounds silly , but a peice of potato rubbed across your glasses works pretty well.I did a bit of diving in the military and rather than use spit as an anti fog we used a small peice of spud on the inside of our face masks..These might work pretty good as well.

Try a bent coat hanger, it worked when I broke my arm and couldnt scratch.

Hi Brooke.The lady on the phone has probably never done the track herself and has no idea. Just take it one day at a time.My son suffers from asthma, he has been to Iraq with the military and was also asked to try out for the Ozz Olympic swim team a numbers of years ago.
