Trekking Kokoda 2019 | Walking in the Footsteps of Heroes The Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea is more than just a trek-it's a journey through one of the most significant chapters of Australian history. This legendary trail was the site of a fierce and pivotal battle during World War II, one of the few times Australian soldiers fought to defend our home from invasion. Walking the Kokoda Track, ...
awesome video, may I ask, where did you start the walk from/trail head?
@@WildTreksAustralia Moonlight Ridge Track and starts on Limestone Quarry Road. A great day hike into Mystery Creek Cave. I use the list dot tas dot gov map. It's a good resource.
@@markdireen awesome stuff. I was just looking at the map. I assume that when you get to thre end of Moon Light Ridge (Pinders Peak), you turn right and just follow the ridge towards Pandani Knob, Mt Wylly (no trail)?
@@WildTreksAustralia yes, that's it. There is a track but its not well used. Needs a little nav to stay on track.
@@markdireen great thanks for the info
Thanks for making the video, looks like a great place to be in better weather conditions. What are your thoughts on the Mont jacket, looks to wet out. I have one and it wets out so easy, does not repel the water very well at all, even after washing and treating with nikwax treatment.
Hi @goughytas , I don't mind some Mont gear at all. I have been using the Zodiac 700 sleeping bag for years, Mont tents, and their outer layer jacket and pants. I think the jacket and pants are good for rain and wind in Tassie and they are light weight so I can carry in all conditions.
Thank you for sharing your experiences in 🇰🇭 and sharing to the whole wide world 🌎 ❤🙏🫶🏻
My pleasure!! I look forward to visiting again and sharing more.
Good stuff.
Cheers @HikeingiTuP
