Personal Porters are $720.
Australian Battlefield Treks and Tours employ group carriers to carry the collective trekking equipment including all food, safety equipment and all individual tents.
These carriers are not employed to carry your personal items of clothing or sleeping gear.
There is an option to employ a Personal Porter to carry your personal items, including your sleeping gear, changes of clothes, washing gear, snacks, and other essential items for the days ahead.
By employing a Personal Porter, you will assist with putting food on the table of one of our PNG families. Your Porter will assist you in negotiating difficult parts of the trail and will become your new “best friend” in PNG.
If you employ a Personal Porter you will also be provided with a large backpack for your personal gear which means you will only need to bring and therefore carry a smaller day pack (6 - 7 kg) each day with all of your essential items in it.
Your Porter will receive the following in wages and benefits:
K100 per day as a wage (well above the award wage in PNG)
A uniform including 2 x T-Shirts, a pair of shorts and a cap
A sleeping bag and a sleeping mat
A fly home allowance of K300
They will carry a maximum of 18 kg (12 kg of your gear and 6 kg of their own gear)
