The Kokoda Track is one of many walking tracks that existed long before Europeans entered this part of the world. During the course of WWII, the Japanese decided to use this trail as a means of launching a ground attack against the Australians in Port Moresby. On this trek, we set out to explore the complete route of the campaign starting from the village of Kokoda and eventually working our way west to Owers’ corner perched high on the Sogeri Plateau.
