Day 9 - Ioribaiwa village to Goldie River

Early start today for last full day of walking. Today we have a long walk up Imita ridge. Also about 25 river crossings in one day !!!

Heading down the steep incline from Ioribaiwa. We left at the same time as the other two tour groups !

One of the many river crossings for the day. The boots were full of water all day.

The start of the long grind up Imita ridge.

A welcome relief - the top of Imita Ridge. The guys clapped each trekker as they made it to the top. The end of the trek is now in our grasp ;-)

Quick call to Mum back home to let her know we are on the home straight.

Lunch and coke break near Dump 66. Those cokes always went down well !

We made it. The final wade through Goldie River. Time to get the boots off and enjoy a cool dip.

Final night of setting up a tent on the trip. Really looking forward now to getting on bus tomorrow am at Owen Corner and getting back to hotel in Port Moresby for hot shower, fresh food and soft bed !
