Lea Lea. A Review...

Well, what an easy walk.
On the coolest morning of the year so far for Moresby, we travelled out to Lea Lea Village where we accidently met our guide for the morning. He then led us across the bridge and along the beach for a pleasant stroll in the morning.

Part way along the beach some young men who had obviously had liklik spak the night before tried to convince one of the female members of the bushwalking group to fund the purchase of a banana boat for all the young men. Needless to say the young men failed in their attempt...

Towards the end of the beach, we then headed inland for a wander amongst the mangroves, whilst trying to keep the Mozzies at bay. We visited the amazing Mangrove beach bridge and one of the wells in which the Lea Lea Village collect their water.

We then wandered back through the middle of the village and finished our day at a reasonable time and still feeling reasonably good. It was a great morning escape from Moresby and thanks to our guide, we learnt a great deal about the life and times of Lea Lea Village.

And the drive out and back from the Village was fantastic too. Seeing the Owen Stanleys blue in the morning sun as we made our way to Lea Lea was indeed a fantastic view. Oh and there was an abundance of Pandanus!
