YOUR PILGRIM JOURNEY
It's a place, and a name, and a story, that's become part of our nations modern dream time,
it's a corner piece of a jigsaw puzzle, which makes up what it means to be an Australian.
It's a story of the men who saved our freedom, a story we must hand down to our children and their children.
KOKODA - The Spirit Lives by Patrick Lindsay
The 96 kilometre (as the crow flies) Kokoda Track still bears its battle scars in the shape of scattered ammunition, guns, helmets and stirring campfire stories. Trekking the Original Kokoda War Track is a right of passage all Australians should aspire to achieve.

There are steep rugged mountains, treacherous ridges, jungle terrain, unforgiving rivers and rainforests with giant trees that will tower over you and look down, mocking you, at every opportunity. Walk the Kokoda Track with Our Spirit on a PNG Adventure that embraces the local culture, and experience nature at it's wildest - just as our diggers did in 1942.

Some of the most successful teams in the world, most recently the Hawthorn Football Club, have used what we term our“Kokoda principles” in their desire to be the best.

Participants as young as 14 years and as old as 81 years have successfully completed the Kokoda Track with Our Spirit. We strongly believe, pre-trek Kokoda Track preparation is the key to our success. In fact, Our Spirit's safety and success record over the past 24 years is unrivalled by any other Kokoda trek operator.
Our passion for the history is second to none as we are able to personalise your experience by including detailed information for relatives of the diggers who fought on the Kokoda Track or elsewhere in the "Pacific campaigns". |

Our Kokoda Programme begins with a 3 month training program with supervised group training sessions to ensure all participants are well prepared before embarking on this challenge. This 3 month preparation period is also open to friends and family and can be administered to remote areas, it is often a very valuable team bonding and networking opportunity as you walk secluded bush trails as part of your training. As a leadership, team building and structured program this challenge is also tax effective.
