âSteep are the hill weâre climbing today,
Rivers and valleys dividing the way.â
-Portersâ song
Known as one of the worldâs most spectacular and challenging treks, the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea, offers the experience of a lifetime.
On the 75th anniversary of the campaign between Australian and Japanese troops, author Nikki Moyes trekked the 96km of track where her grandfather acted as a translator.
Known for its steep, rugged, and muddy mountain terrain, the track also offers stunning scenery, magnificent jungle plant life, and friendly locals. This is what it is like to hike the Kokoda Track.
Includes photos and translated Japanese WWII documents.
