Welcome to the Kids Helpline 2012 Kokoda Trail Challenge. The Kokoda Track is one of the world's great treks, the last frontier that echoes the true heroic nature of the Australian Army's battles fought in 1942 as they defended Port Moresby at extraordinary odds from the advancing forces of the Japanese.
The relatively privileged Australian life is in no small way due to the heroism of the men and women who fought and died in foreign battlefields along the Kokoda Track. On this incredible 11 day trip, you will trek deep into the heart of Australia’s history. You will sleep in the jungle as you tour around the battlefields and gain true insights into the culture of the villages you visit. From here you can create your own individual fundraising page and to share your Kokoda journey with friends, family and co-workers and also ask for their support by emailing around the unique link of your webpage. Each donation is recorded on your page along with any message of support from your donors.
