Better still Mike, I'm busy this weekend but I'll give you directions and you can check out all the plants around there yourself.

If you fly to PNG you can get a charter flight to Kokoda. Take the main track heading south through Hoi village and 3 days walking will bring you over the saddle of Mt Bellamy. After another 3 days you should have reached Iorabaiwa village. From there it's only about another 5 hours walk.

Should be on the left hand side of the track (if not it must be the right hand side). If you reach Imita Ridge you've gone too far and have to back track about an hour.

Watch the log bridges, there's lots of them, they're slippery and the rivers swift.

And take a big bag, you're going to see lots of things you'll want to bring back. ;)
