Kokoda Challenge Race 2011 - This morning 30 competitors lined up to contest this year's Kokoda Challenge Race. Brendan Buka is the hot favourite once again to win this year's race. Before the start one guy came forward and withdrew saying he was not feeling too well, another guy missed the start and commenced his race some 30 minutes after the rest due to a night on the town.... 

They had a local band playing there on the day

You will see all the photos of them at Owers corner in the above link, and I will insert photos of what was actually going on at Orohaven Kokoda Retreat while they were running the track to us on the other end.
