From the Girua Airport, the group and entourage proceeded to the township of Oro.
After arriving at Embara, the groundbreaking ceremony for the rehabilitation, maintenance and sealing of the Kokoda and Northern Highway took place. The program was brief as the team had to travel to Oro Bay to hold a similar ceremony for the communities in the area.
The Kokoda Northern Highway is an Australian Government funded project under the Transport Support Program (TSSP) and is valued at K51 million.
