GAZZA HAS SUCCESS WITH ECO TOILET TRIP

Gazza's recent trip to PNG and the Kokoda Track proved to be a mostly successful one. After arrival via a very crazy flight into Kagi's very small runway in the middle of the mountains I was joined by local guides Robert, Stanley & Guy to form the "toilet team". After two days in Kagi we completed and commissioned the first ever Eco toilet(Rotaloo)on the track. We then trekked 40+kms to Kokoda and started work on the neext toilet located at the Kokoda Skills centre. Progress went well and with the plans left behind and a programme put in place this unit should be going in the next few weeks. Then it was back to Sogeri to view the site at Iarowari High School. In desperate need on new toilet facilities this school will be the third location and become a pilot programme for Eco type toilets in this area. Plans are now in place to get this started in the coming weeks. After that it was back to Sydney and planning to keep this project moving. Some photos of the variuos locations and progress included below for your viewing pleasure. Please contact me should you have any questions.
