Kokoda Track

It's easy to think if the Kokoda Campaign as a chapter in a history book. But when you walk the track - when you feel the mud under your boots and the weight of history in the air - you realise this story is alive. It lives in every ridge, every village, every monument. It lives in the people. DO KOKODA WITH GLENN FITNESS FOR KOKODA ADVENTURE WITH GLENNSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For years this show has been built on interviews from the track. That's not changing - but now we're going deeper. Deeper into the history. Deeper into the battles. Deeper into the country, the people and the lessons Kokoda teaches us. Whether you're preparing to trek the Track or simply want to understand why this place matters, this podcast is now your definitive resource.
