Thanks for stopping by to find out more about the Kokoda Track in papua New Guinea. I was lucky enough to join a expedition in late September 2007 where I trekked along the track for 8 days starting in Kokoda, and walking the 96km through to Ower’s Corner. Our group was huge with 42 trekkers and over 60 porters!

If your interested in learning more about my experience and what the Kokoda Track may have in store for you as an adventurer, check out some of the other sections on this website including my trek diary, my preparation, the gear I took and more about the history of the people and the battles fought during World War II.

Please sign my guestbook if you found this website useful and feel free to leave comments on any of the articles, or contact me to ask a question.

Glad to hear your planning to do the most amazing trek of your life. The following list is only a start and just a few of my own ideas to help you plan for your trek based on my own experience, and what I have discovered worked well for others who have walked the track also.

Well I did it! I have walked the Kokoda Track from Kokoda to Ower’s Corner and survived. Thanks to the wonderful porters and No Roads Expeditions guides I made it without injury and thoroughly enjoyed my experience, even the hills! This trek diary will begin as day one when we set off walking and does not include the travel to PNG and the time at our hotel in Port Moresby.

Day 2: Wed 26 Sep 07

Deniki to Alola

Today will be our first full day of trekking and I am excited. It rained all night and the everything is pretty soggy outside and a thick fog has rolled in. My gear stayed dry which is great and my tent didn’t leak or anything. Most people had started waking around 5am with the temperature rising along with the excitement. The aim was to be walking by 7am in daylight and to get cracking as there is a fair walk to complete today.
