Under PNG law, all tour companies are required to pay fees to the Kokoda Track Authority for permits in order to walk the track. Mr Lynn said he did this to "assist them in preparing the sites to meet the safety and welfare need of their paying customers". Adventure Kokoda workers say they set up the roadblock out of frustration with the licence cancellation.
