S2 Ep 6: Emerging Leaders Conquering Kokoda

There are many stories of our ANZAC’s which demonstrates their character, determination and the toughness of our diggers.

One of the fiercest fights was in Papua New Guinea on the infamous Kokoda Trail.

Nowadays, the Kokoda Track is visited by many Australians to not only honour the brave soldiers who fought, and sadly died on the track, to thank them for their sacrifices which ensured Australia’s freedom. It has also become a trek that helps build future leaders, teaching them resilience, loyalty, courage, endurance and sacrifice.

People say you can’t explain what it’s like to trek Kokoda, and pictures just won’t do it justice, but today we are joined by Genevieve Ryan from AKD who not only recently completed the track but is also involved in organising the AKD program which sees local students join teachers and AKD employees to trek the 96 kilometres through the Kokoda Track in PNG.
