William Vaira’s story is of beating the cold of a new environment and surviving at least 8 hours of mountain climbing in order for a population of four villages to vote.
Hailogo, Enivilogo, Efogi 1 and Efogi 2 in the Efogi Ward of Koiari LLG are located along the Kokoda Track.
Vaira’s team – team 7, consisting of himself presiding officer and two reserved constables as security personnel, covered these villages.
The team left Port Moresby on last Tuesday July 27th by air and commenced polling at Hailogo upon arrival.
