Sundays in my City #15 - PNG (again!)

It has been a very long week that again hasn't involved any photos of worth.  I spent the majority of the week sick in bed and only ventured out today.  Sure I took heaps of photos at soccer but they aren't that interesting and I didn't even take a camera to the ice hockey, wanting to watch the game rather than photograph it.  So again I am stuck with the dilemma - What to share for Sunday in my City?

I know, how about some more photos from Papua New Guinea!  A random collection of photos that show the beauty of the country and the really diverse landscapes.

Just keep walking...

Shopping anyone?

The end of the track is in sight - Owers Corner

I promise I will get out of the house and get some photos worth posting this week, or at least be inventive enough to dig through the archives and find something new to post, in the meantime, join in the fun of  Sundays in my City.

Sundays in my City #14 - the people of Kokoda

The cold of the Melbourne winter where everyone seems to be struggling with cold and flu has finally hit here.  Instead of spending the day outside, exploring and having fun, we spent the day inside, resting and napping on the couch.  Milla was unwell and I was in need of a day of rest too.  That means that we don't have any new photos for this week, but I have plenty of photos and great memories that I haven't had a chance to share.

The people of the Kokoda Track
The gorgeous kids we met in every village we visited.

The wonderful porters who helped us, every step of the way.

 The fantastic young people that I trekked with, who came alive when playing with the local kids.

Paying respect to someone who supported Australian diggers during WWII.

An amazing journey that I was lucky enough to share with some dynamic young people who I am sure will change the world.

Sundays in my City #12 - Last Sunday at Kokoda

I didn't get a chance to play along with Sundays in my City last week.  I had a really good excuse, I was in Kokoda and completely out of range for any wifi.  In fact, there was no phone coverage, no electricity and not that it has any impact upon my ability to blog, there was no plumbing either!  Even if I did work out how to connect via the emergency sat phone, I really didn't have any room in my backpack to carry a laptop (not even my tiny little macbook air!) as my pack was already 20kg and jam packed with essentials like sleeping gear, a tent, food and water.

Instead I made the most of the beautiful surroundings, got to know the wonderful people that I was sharing the journey with and we walked.  Over 8 days we walked from Kokoda to Owers Corner - 96km of back breaking trekking, through tropical jungles and over a mountain ranges.  It was stunning.

Remembering where I injured myself last year! (Who needs ankle ligaments anyway?)

There are so many more photos to add and memories to share in the coming weeks, in the meantime, there are a few pics and articles over here if you want to know more.
