The No Roads Guide will be carrying an extensive Wilderness First Aid Kit.

WOMEN’S HEALTH

On top of the normal health considerations, women are advised to bring a tube of Canesten and an applicator.  The Canesten is used for the treatment of thrush (which can be very painful if left untreated) and can be applied to both internal and external thrush. 

We also recommend that women bring a sarong to wrap around their bathing suits whilst bathing to respect the countries cultural sensitivities.

UXO’s (Unexploded Ordinance)

Despite being home to families (going back generations), the reality remains that this was a region contested between Commonwealth, Dutch and Japanese forces. 

The fluid nature of many of these engagements meant that ground was on occasion surrendered hurridly and as a result, many weapons of war were simply left behind.

Nature, as resilient as it is, has reclaimed many of these sites, but it does not mean we should not remain diligent as unexploded ordinance can still be found near the track.

Over the past decade, the bulk of this undisposed of ordinance (most of which dates back to WWII) has been cleared, however there is always a small element of risk.

NOTE: Always follow the direction of your guides in regard to any UXO encounter. The best rule of thumb is to simply look and never touch and if you happen upon anything yourself, always bring it to the attention of your guide.
