DAY 7 - MENARI TO NAURO

Saturday 27 September

The trekkers made their way out of Menari for 20 minutes before crossing a small bridge and another 30 mins hike to a rest break. After this they made their first accent of the day up to the Menari lookout where they could see the village in the distance they camped at last night. The trekked down the ridge for 45 minutes and refilled there water before they crossed the into the swamp flatlands on the way to Brown River for a refreshing swim. Then they trekked a short 15 minutes to Amaduri village for morning tea and then back into the swamp for 45 minutes in the to the base of the false peaks. They continued trekking up the seemingly never ending slopes of the Maguli Range to todays camp at new Nauro Village. They arrived in camp early and are now enjoying an early end to the day, doing some washing and as always a few men having an afternoon nap.
