Trip Notes
From July 1942 to January 1943, in their heroic defense of Australia’s homeland, brave young soldiers fought a number of brutal battles along the Kokoda Track. Kokoda is now a symbol of the remarkable values of mateship, courage, endurance and sacrifice the soldiers displayed.The relatively privileged Australian life is in no small way due to the heroism of the men and women who fought and died in foreign battlefields along the Kokoda Track. On this incredible trip, you will trek deep into the heart of Australia’s history. You will sleep in the jungle as you tour around the battlefields and gain true insights into the culture of the villages you visit. You will stand at the peak of Brigade Hill on ANZAC DAY; a once-in-a-lifetime experience like no other.
Join us today on this truly unique trip to the Kokoda Track as you raise money for Leukaemia Foundation and help fund free services to support Australians who are facing the challenge of blood cancer – from diagnosis, through treatment and beyond.
