Well done to our August Trekkers, here are some highlights....

31/08/2026

Our August trekkers have done it! They walked under the arches in Kokoda this afternoon in the rain, having completed 96kms across the Owen Stanley Ranges. The day started with a wet memorial service at Isurava to pay their respects to the fallen soldiers of the Isurava Battle. They also inspected the site where Bruce Kingsbury won the Victoria Cross, the only one awarded during the campaign. After the service, they started their walk to Isurava Village and then it was a long downhill stretch through many native gardens into the village of Deniki. Here they stopped to look out over Kokoda and its’ airstrip. They continued down to the beautiful village of Hoi for lunch. Then it was only a 6km flat stretch to finally pass under the arches at Kokoda. After high fives and photos, they walked through Kokoda to the plateau where they inspected the battle site and the memorial, to learn about the 39th Bn epic battle to save Australia. Then it was a short walk to their campsite for the night, where they have taken off their boots for the last time and are celebrating with some cold drinks! Well done everyone, great job! We had a few photos come through today of the group from the last few days of the trek.

Day 7 and our trekkers are almost there, having completed another 14.5kms! This morning they left Templeton’s crossing and made their way to the Eora Creek spur. This is one of the positions where the battle of Eora creek was conducted. There are still visible signs of the Australians defensive positions, the most predominant being a possible Australian mortar position where we will find a recently dug up cache of mortars and grenades. They kept following the spur into Eora creek where they inspected some remaining remnants of Australian and Japanese equipment left after the battle. Leaving Eora Creek, they climbed again up a steep open section to the beautiful village of Alola. Here they stopped for a well-deserved lunch cooked by our amazing porters. After a good rest and a hearty lunch, they continued to inspect Cons Rock, where surgeries were performed during the campaign. Then it was an easy short walk into the Isurava Battle site and their campsite for the night. It was cloudy again today but no rain. Everyone is doing well and looking forward to their final day of walking tomorrow!

Day 6 and our group arrived safe and well in camp by mid afternoon, after a relatively easy day on the track. They began with a short walk to Myola Lakes, which was a vital supply drop zone during the Kokoda campaign, then onto Bombers Camp to check out the B25 plane wreck there. They then headed through the Moss Forest, making their way up to the highest point of the track. They continued onto the Kokoda Gap, a reference point used by pilots in the campaign. They stopped at Dump 1 for a swim and some lunch, and maybe a spot of fishing by the porters. After lunch it was a bit further to their campsite at Templeton's Crossing, named after Captain Sam Templeton who was one of the first to be killed during the early stages of the Kokoda Campaign. It was a cool overcast day with no rain. Everyone is doing really well

Day 5 and another big day of 14.5kms, for our trekkers, having completed the last of the big climbs. They started their morning with a beautiful memorial service at Bridage Hill. On the battle site there are some stakes in the ground where Australians were buried and later relocated to Bomana War Cemetery. After the service they descended into present day Efogi Village which is about the halfway mark. Here they looked through the museum and browsed at the local gifts and produce on offer. Leaving Efogi Village they had a steep pinch up to Efogi 2 Village. After an ascent there is always a descent, and this time it was down to Efogi River before going back up to the village of Naduri, on the side of the Naduri Range, for lunch. After a hearty lunch cooked by our Porters they continued up the Naduri Range until reaching the cooler climate of Diggers camp, and their stop for the night. They had no rain today and we have no photos of the group today.

Day 4 and another big day for our trekkers! The group set out from beautiful Nauro down into the Brown River Swamp, before eventually crossing the Brown River. Then then walked through the lovely village of Agulogo before starting their steep pinch up 'the wall' and further on to the large village of Menari. Menari is famous for the 39th Battalion parade where the troops were addressed by their Commander Lt Col Ralph Honner and congratulated on their efforts. Here they stopped for lunch at Freddie's (PX's) place and a much-needed rest. After lunch they had the steep 3hr incline up to the famous battle grounds of Brigade Hill. There is a memorial here and some stakes in the ground where Australians were buried and later relocated to Bomana War Cemetery. This is their campsite for the night. They had rain overnight but no rain today. A few more photos came through of the group today, which will probably be the last until day 8.

Day 3 and our group have had another big day having completed 11kms. This morning the group started with a climb to reach Ioribaiwa battle site, the furthest point of the Japanese advance. Here they stopped and Olly explained the battle site and they were able to see some Japanese and Australian relics. After exploring, they descended to Ofi Creek before starting the 3 hour climb up the Maguli Range. They stopped for lunch on the track at Banana Camp, before making it to the top of the range. Finally there was a much needed descent into the beautiful village of Nauro and their campsite for the night. They had a downpour last night with cloudy conditions today making the climb more bearable. Three photos of the group came through today.

25/08/2026

Day 2 and our August trekkers have had their first big day on the track having walked 12.5kms. The morning started with their first big climb up to Imita Ridge, which was the point of Australia's furthest withdrawal of the Kokoda campaign. Then it was a steep descent down to Ua-Ule Creek Campsite for lunch where they enjoyed a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear water. After lunch they crisscrossed the creek many times before starting their next big climb up to Ioribaiwa, where you get the best sunsets of the track! Everyone is doing well, and it is hot and dry! Three photos of the group came through from yesterday, and the rest are from previous treks.

Our August trek is underway!! Our trekkers set off early this morning from Cairns for the 1.5hr flight to Port Moresby. Once landed the group made a visit to the local supermarket before visiting the Bomana War Cemetery. This is quite an emotional visual of just how many men gave their lives for our freedom. They then travelled the 2 hours to Owers' Corner, stopping at McDonalds Corner, which is the official start of the Kokoda Track. After they met their porters and had lunch at Owers', the before photos were taken under the arches, and they were on their way! The trek starts with a steep descent down to Goldie River and their first campsite of the trek. The weather is sunny and dry!! We have one photo of the group from Bomana War Cemetery today.

Our awesome August trekkers have landed in Port Moresby for the start of their Kokoda adventure! We will be following them every step of the way!
