Day 8 - New Nauro to Ioribaiwa village

Pits on the track near the Japanese tombs.

Andrew having lunch (tuna wraps) at near station 88

Some sugar cane for desert. This piece sold for $1 Kina from one of the vendors along the track. Andrew enjoyed the sugar hit, once he figured out how to eat it !


One of Aidan's guys developed an bad case of trench foot over night. The soles of his feet were bleeding when he removed his socks at lunch time. This was his seventh trip on Kokoda. He took Nurofen Plus tablets in large quantities to try to manage the pain.

The bane of all Kokoda treckers - tree roots. You are forever looking down, watching your feet to ensure you don't trip on one of these !

Quite a few memorials today to trekkers that had lost their life walking the Kokoda Track



Made it to Ioribaiwa !!!
