New Wartime Kokoda Tracks discovered.
OLD WARTIME TRACKS REDISCOVERED AND OPEN FOR TREKKING
The Kokoda Track continues to reveal more of its secrets and during the off season an adventurous team of Kokoda Spirit Trek Masters set about the task of re discovering and reopening the prewar mail route from Kagi over the top of Mt Bellamy across Eora Creek and into Templetons No.2 . This was the walking track used in the late 60’s and early 70’s to traverse Mt Bellamy and for whatever reason fell into disuse. I walked a section of this track late last year and along with what the boys have told me on their latest adventure it is an exciting and tough walk. We will offer this alternative route to certain groups this trekking season. We will also be showing groups the original track leading up to the Golden Stairs towards Imita Ridge that we uncovered last year. We are also hoping to offer our trekkers another original alterative section of the Kokoda Track near Naro later this year. It is important to remember that there were many tracks and trails that ran across to Kokoda. Which ever Kokoda Track you walk on you will be walking on the original war track not a "Eco Track" and truly walking in the footsteps of heroes. Wayne Wetherall Kokoda Spirit
