Today you meet in Brisbane and fl y to Port
Moresby, before connecting with your private
air charter to the starting point of the trek.
DAY 2 – 9: KOKODA TRAIL
Built over 200 years ago as a commuting
route between villages, the track became the
scene of bitter fi ghting between Australian and
Japanese soldiers during World War II. Today
battle sites are still evident throughout the jungle,
marked by the weapon pits of the combatants;
they remain remarkably well preserved - it’s as
though the Australian soldiers who sheltered
there had shouldered their packs and walked
away only days ago. Many relics of the war can
still be found - a testament to the ferocity of the
fi ghting about which your guide will elaborate.
This trek is a tremendous physical challenge.
DAY 10: PORT MORESBY / BRISBANE,
