Eora Creek
After a discussion with Sam Seka of Alola Village, a decision was made to install the Glockeman pump at Eora Creek campsite.
Warren Bartlett (KTA) assisted us in obtaining parts and paying for the charter flight from Port Moresby for Jim Armstrong, 200 meters of piping & four 250-litre tanks.
It took a real community effort to transport this equipment from Kokoda to Eora Creek. The pump was duly installed however as stated above the water flow was insufficient. We reverted to a simple rain collection system using a tarpaulin to run water into the tanks. This simple method has proved sufficient to supply one shower and one tap to the campsite depending on how water wise the trekkers are.
