70th Anniversary Kokoda Track Campaign 2012

As some of you already know I will be embarking on a bit of a journey this year.  The Kokoda Track has been on my bucket list for years and somewhere along the way got a little lost when kids and life in general took over. 


A couple of months ago while at Crossfit Noosa I met a trainer from Brisbane, Rob, who is a trek leader for Adventure Professionals http://www.adventureprofessionals.com.au/.  I got chatting to Rob who told me that he is doing Kokoda for the first time himself in April this year.  I told Rob it sounded amazing and he suggested I should come.  I didn't think much about it at the time but when I got home I decided that, yep, I was going to do this, finally. 


So, now it is really happening!  This trip will mark the 70th Anniversary of Kokoda, and of course we will be on the track for Anzac Day.  

For the most part people are really positive when I tell them about it. Whatever happens though I am going to give this thing a good crack.  If diggers can do in atrocious conditions then so can I.


This blog is to record my preparation and experiences on what is hopefully going to be an amazing journey at an important part of our military history.
