Day 3-4: Owen Stanley Range — The Climb
The Kokoda Track crosses the spine of the Owen Stanley Range, one of the most rugged mountain chains on Earth. Ascend through dense jungle, crossing crystal mountain streams. Day 4: reach the Isurava Memorial, site of one of the most significant battles of the Kokoda Campaign. The four granite pillars bearing the words “Courage, Endurance, Mateship, Sacrifice” are deeply moving. Overnight in village camps.

Day 9: Owers’ Corner — The Finish
