Saturday 21 September
We left for Cairns from the Ryan Catholic College Community Centre. We said goodbye to our parents and friends packed our luggage onto the bus found our spots and headed off.
The bus ride was quiet with most of us passed out some with headphone in ears or whispering to each other. We stopped in Hinchinbrook and had a stretch then hopped on the bus and drove to Cardwell where we had a toilet break then drove to Innisfail for breakfast at Maccas.
After we arrived in Cairns we filled out our slips then passed through the shops of Cairns airport. While at cairns airport we were told that there would be a sniffer dog training with a decoy bag turns out Mitch Locke had something that the dog liked cause he sat down and Mitch got inspected by the police, the look on his face was priceless.
We got on the plane to find out we were scattered all through the plane. Poor Darcy was all by himself. We arrived at Port Moresby (it was hot) then we had the long, hot and quite boring. We finally got on the plane and we were off to Wewak. On arrival we were greeted by smiling faces. We packed our luggage in the truck and then went off to the hostel. We got there and hallelujah they had aircon we were all so happy. We sat down and had dinner it was delicious we had rice, chicken,steak stew, beans and a few other things. We all had a quite night then went to sleep we were all so tired.

Saturday 28 September
The last couple of days have been very busy, so today was a chance to have some relaxation and enjoy each others company. We were joined by Bishop Otto today as he took us to the outskirts of town to see the logging depot. It was quite sad to see the natural resources of Papua New Guinea exploited by foreign companies and countries. We also learnt that the remains of two Australian soldiers from World War Two were discovered nearby, and were in the process of being excavated and sent to the commemorative cemetery in Port Moresby. After traveling to see the burial site of the soldiers, we returned to the sister's house for lunch and conversation. Today was Ella's birthday whom turned 15 and we celebrated with some cake that the sisters made. In the afternoon, we all went to the beach for a swim and then returned to our residences for the night.
