ANZAC Day 2022
Travelled to Port Moresby to attend Anzac Day Dawn Service at Bomana War Cemetery on behalf of our trek company our staff, guides and our trekkers.
Having been on the Kokoda Track for 20 years years and celebrating this day at Brigade Hill, I was saddened knowing our company would not be trekking the Kokoda Track in 2022.

On the lawn in the presence of the 3000 plus graves of brave soldiers who fought and died in campaigns in the Pacific, it is not hard to feel humble and utter the words,with lowered head, LEST WE FORGET.

RIP
Another Brave warrior from the 39th Battalion, Cec Driscoll, a veteran of all the 39th's actions on the Kokoda Track except for Brigade Hill, has passed away.
Take the time and read Cec’s story as posted by the RSL in memory of and tribute to him https://bit.ly/3E48duG
Lest we forget

Memories from the Kokoda trail Extract: One of the last members of the legendary 39th Australian Infantry Battalion, WWII veteran Cec Driscoll’s story is both harrowing and humbling.

COVID VACCINATION AND TREKKING.
A personal message to all our friends, trekking crew and family living in Port Moresby, Mt Koari. Popondetta, surrounding costal villages kokoda Village, Sogeri area and all along The Track.

1. We strongly urge you to live within Covid safe guidelines paying particular care of elderly members within your communities.
2. Seriously consider getting Vaccinated as soon as the opportunity arises.
3. Seriously evaluate the claims made by some PNG influencers who give reasons via social media not to be vaccinated. Their claims are misleading at best and false in all cases.

The decision is yours.
The key to getting the trekking industry working once again is to be vaccinated.
Be assured all BTA staff, trekking guides, our families and friends here in Australia are being vaccinated and we urge you to act wisely.

Take care all. Love to you all.
Jim.
