DAY 7 - MENARI TO NAURO

Tuesday 08 July

Today was a half day of trekking however, it was still a tough one. The trekkers made their way out of Menari for 20 minutes before crossing a small bridge, and then another 30-minute hike to a rest break. Then they trekked the first accent of the day up to the Menari lookout, where they could see last nights village in the distance. They trekked down the ridge for 45 minutes to refill their water before crossing the swamp on the way to Brown River, where they enjoyed a swim. Then they trekked a short 15 minutes to Amaduri village for morning tea, and then back into the swamp for 45 minutes to make their way to the base of the false peaks. They had a good rest here before continuing up the never-ending slopes of the Maguli Range for an hour to arrive in today’s camp at New Nauro Village. Great weather today as they arrived in camp in great spirits and in good time at 12pm. They are now enjoying an early end to the day, with some doing a bit of washing and a few men having an afternoon nap.
