 Our
Head Australian Trek Master is the highly experienced and
respected Wayne Wetherall.Wayne has
done countless treks across the Kokoda Trail, often in the
company of the Landowner Chiefs or Land owner Councillors and
has a very close relationship with the Villagers and Village
people across the Track.
Wayne is supported by the very best Australian
and Local PNG Trek Masters that have a deep knowledge and
understanding of the battles and battlefields along the Track.
We are focused on safety with our head guides
trained in remote first aid and ever watchful to reduce any
potential hazards along the way. We carry the latest in
satellite phones and back to base radio’s which are regularly
monitored to ensure your safety.
Our group sizes are restricted to a maximum of
16 persons. This number allows you to have space on the track
and plenty of space in our campsites and villagers. Smaller
groups are more intimate and personal and also allow you the
opportunity to learn from your guides, about the history,
the sites and the culture of the people, without competing with
mass numbers of trekkers.
When you walk the Kokoda Trail with all its obstacles and
challenges you feel the aura and spirit of the young men who
defeated an enemy, an enemy who had never been conquered, and an
enemy that had never tasted defeat. They overcame overwhelming
odds and atrocious conditions, out numbered and out gunned their
victory was possible due to their trust and respect for each
other, their dependence on each other, their ability to never
give up, to hang in there when all seemed lost, self belief and
strong leadership.
TO WALK IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF HEROES, TO WALK IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF
OUR BROTHERS is a heady experience; it is an experience a
turning point that blows away our preconceived limitations of
our physical, emotional and spiritual ability and endurance. It
reminds us that the human spirit and our self imposed boundaries
are only limited by our ability to dream and believe. It is not
how many years a man lives that matters, but what he does with
those years, many or few that is granted to him. The men on the
Kokoda Track have done much with theirs.
