Black Cat Trek - PNG - anyone interested?Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea | ||
Hi, I was supposed to do the trail over easter with some friends (who are still going) but have to recover from an injury. I want to do either Wau to Salamua or Salamua to Wau via past the Black Cat mine rather than Skindawai. This trek and surruounding area saw alot of fighing in WWII. Since it's rarely walked I understand the battlefields are pretty much intact. Will be carrying own pack to around 25kg depending on water. Looking at the end of April and treking it in 4-5 days. Only 65km but probably harder than Kokoda from what I hear. Will organise a guide. Any interest? Cheers Matt | ||
