Low clouds in the valley during climb up to Owen Corner. Couple of false tops on the way up the hill.
We made it !!!! Quite an emotional moment getting to the end of the walk.
Andrew and I at the finish line !
Andrew, I and Tony share the moment
Our ride back from Owens to Port Moresby. Sharing Peregrine's bus home
The Peregrine guide told their trekkers they would stop off at McDonalds. They assumed we were getting burgers etc :-) In July and August 1942 McDonald's Corner was recognised as the beginning of the Kokoda Track and there is now a memorial at the site as well as a sign announcing the beginning of the "Kokoda Trail"
Quite an interesting drive back. Very narrow and windy road. A magnificent waterfall on the way at the Port Moresby Hydro power station.
A relaxing swim back at our hotel.
A good clean of boots, tents etc etc.
Bit of shopping at both Boroko market and downtown near the Yacht club. We wanted to buy a Kundu drum and woven bag etc.
We bought a mask, carved in the Sepik region of PNG, an area famous for wood carvings
