In 1942 a small band of young Australian soldiers overcame seemingly insurmountable odds to preserve Australia’s freedom along the Kokoda Track. If Gallipoli symbolised the ANZAC spirit in WWI, then Kokoda is its WWII equivalent. In August 1942 Kokoda was a killing field.
Seventy years on, it is hard to imagine what those young men endured for our freedom but the journey gives some clues. Patrick Lindsay takes us on a journey that explores the track as it is today and how it was seventy years ago.
