They’ve done it! 🇵🇬🥾

Our incredible Kokoda trekkers have completed the journey of a lifetime — crossing the final steps of the trail and now safely back in Port Moresby. Tonight is a time for reflection, rest, and pride before they fly home to Australia tomorrow.

This trek is not just about endurance, but about resilience, teamwork and deep respect for the history and sacrifice that marks every step of the Kokoda Track.

So proud of each and every one of them — what an extraordinary achievement! 💪🌿🇦🇺

🚶‍♂️🇵🇬 Kokoda Trek Update 🇵🇬🚶‍♀️
The group pushed further yesterday than expected, showing just how strong and determined they are — hiking very well! 💪

They overnighted in Hood Water and now have only a couple of hours to go before completing the track. What an achievement!

They’ll visit the Bomana War Cemetery on their way back to Port Moresby, where they’ll arrive by lunchtime today.

Incredible work by everyone involved — you’ve done yourselves, your families, and your communities proud! 👏🌿

Kokoda Trek Update
The group has now left Kagi and over the past two days has made their way to the village of Menari. Along the way, they visited the significant WWII battle site of Brigade Hill before descending into Menari yesterday.

Today was a shorter walking day—just five hours—with the group crossing into the Brown River basin and climbing halfway up the Maguli Range to reach Nauro.

Everyone is doing well, and spirits are high. Only two more days to go before they reach the end of the Track!

Kokoda Trek Update
The group has reached Kagi Village, the halfway point of their Kokoda journey.

They’ll now spend some time immersed in village life — a unique opportunity to connect with the local community. The boys will join the men of the village, while the girls will work alongside the women in the gardens.

This is not just a well-earned rest but a powerful cultural exchange, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of the incredible people who call Kokoda home.
