For many trekkers their first response when asked why they are here is for the personal challenge that comes with tackling the Kokoda track. I think we should all look a bit further.

Australian Kokoda Tours (AKT) was formed by Mick O'Malley after he decided to turn his passion for Australian war history, into a career telling the Kokoda Soldiers' stories to other Australians.

When you trek Kokoda with Kokoda Trail Expeditions, you help the village economy and provide employment for the lovely locals. This way we pay our gratitude collectively to their descendants, the selfless Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels who helped carry supplies and stretcher wounded Australian diggers during the Kokoda Campaign in 1942.

The Kokoda Track holds an extremely important place in Australia’s history. So join with other women adventurers to remember and respect the soldiers who went to war. From July 1942, the route over the Owen Stanley Range witnessed the battle hardened Japanese war machine, encounter young, unprepared, untrained, unproven and hopelessly outnumbered Australian soldiers.

When Vietnam Veteran Merv Hains first walked the Kokoda Track in September 2005, it was the beginning of the Kokoda Track Experience. Merv has since completed 20 trips over the Track and returns regularly to walk alongside trekkers young and old.
