Kokoda Track Anzac Teks

Anzac Treks Kokoda

Hi Guys,

The Anzac treks across Kokoda are now upon us. Please ensure you have done all your preparations and doubled checked your requirements for your trek across Kokoda. It has been raining on the Kokoda Track this week, so make sure you have adequate wet weather gear. It is also important to remember to bring some energy snacks along as you burn up a lot of energy on the Kokoda Track.

Good luck to all trekkers as they take on the challenge of the Kokoda Trail.

I will see you all in Port Moresby and along the Kokoda Track.

Cheers,

Wayne

Kokoda Track, Kokoda Trail Tourism Workshop

Great news, I have been invited to attend the Kokoda Initiative Tourism Stakeholder Workshop in Canberra. This invitation has been only extended to those organisations that have contributed to the welfare and sustainability of the Kokoda Track.

This Kokoda Trail workshop will provide an opportunity for consultation and discussion between the Australian Government and some of the key stakeholders involved with the Kokoda Track and Kokoda Trail Tourism.

The workshop will focus on the following areas regarding Kokoda.

1) The update on the Australian Government engagement on Kokoda and the Kokoda Trail.

2) Presentation of complex management arrangements for Protected Areas used in Australia and synergies with the Kokoda Track.

3) Discussion about potential landowner development activities on the Kokoda Trail.

4) Discussion about tourism industry priorities and needs, immediate and longer term for the Kokoda Trail.

5) Discussion about potential opportunities for engagement and action by tourism operators on the Kokoda Track.

6) Sustainability and ecotourism plans for Kokoda.

Cheers,

Wayne
