I have lived in Papua New Guinea for many years and I have seen quite a few of the main towns but really only from the inside of hotel rooms. Because of this fact three people, Kevin Dalgairns, Joe Chan and myself, decided it was time to see some of the bush of PNG. All the common walks such as the infamous Kokoda trail and the climbing of the daunting Mt Wilhelm were discussed, but they were all ruled out. Eventually it was decided to walk along a walking track in Milne Bay that manages to rate a mention in the Lonely Planet travel survival kit on Papua New Guinea. Lonely Planet discusses the walk as a possibility of walking from Alotau to RabaRaba or Wedau. RabaRaba was considered too far so Wamira village which is next to Wedau was the target.
