The Kokoda Campaign was a brutal WWII battle fought in the jungles of Papua New Guinea. Australian forces, outnumbered and outgunned, defended Port Moresby from Japanese advance through relentless jungle warfare. From Gona to Kokoda and back, soldiers endured exhaustion, disease, and intense combat. Turning the tide at Ioribaiwa and retaking Kokoda marked a defining moment in Australian military history—one of courage, sacrifice, and the unbreakable spirit of those who walked the track.
