Kokoda Spirit Trekkers thoughts....
"Nat, I couldn't agree with Kelly & Geoff more... I did the Trek on my own (with Kokoda Spirit of course, but no Family or Friends)... I was packing it, wondering if I'd be fit enough and how I'd get along with people... My Trek Guide was Richard; he was 68years old when we did the Trek in May 2011, an absolute treasure of a man...
My group were all Amazing people, I feel truly blessed to have made the emotional journey with all of them... There was a quote Richard read out to us before we started trekking, I don't remember it word for word, but it basically said that we all start the trek as strangers and finish as Family & Friends... It really couldn't have been more true for my group...
My advice to you, is to take everything in, Talk to anyone and everyone, they all have a story to tell... The PNG people have a beautiful soul... Having met them, I truly understand just how safe and cared for, Our Brave Diggers must have felt...
The trek is tough, but the reward of trekking that beautiful track far out ways everything else... Around every corner is something magical, no matter how many photos you show people and how many stories you tell them when you return, they will never truly understand just what the track is like and the emotional effect it will have on you... You have to witness it first hand...
I look at my photos and videos and I cry every single time, I honestly cannot wait to go back...
I am a very proud Australian who left a piece of my heart on that Sacred Track..."
