SBS's Pablo Vinales talks to Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and PNG's Prime Minister James Marape while the two men follow the challenging 16 kilometre Kokoda track to the Isurava Memorial site, for the Anzac Day dawn service. The Kokoda Track is a symbol of the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of both Australian and Papua New Guinean soldiers who defended against the Japanese advance. Stretching through rugged mountain terrain and dense jungle in Papua New Guinea, the trail was a crucial lifeline during the Pacific campaign. Its challenging terrain, coupled with sometimes harsh weather conditions, tests the endurance of all who traverse it.

The Prime Minister completes his Kokoda trek for Anzac Day; Police arrest seven teens in a counter-terrorism operation in Sydney; and LIV Golf boss Greg Norman declares South Australia will be the sole Australian host state for the golfing tournament.

In 1942 amidst the rugged terrain of Papua New Guinea, the battle to save the Australian mainland unfolded in treacherous conditions, dense jungles, and steep mountain ranges, shadowed by the constant threat of tropical diseases.The Kokoda Track, a narrow and challenging pathway, became the epicenter of a battle where outnumbered Australian forces, primarily composed of reservists, aided by local Papuan allies, valiantly defended the strategically crucial Port Moresby. Enduring severe hardships, shortages of supplies, and fierce battles, they succeeded in compelling the Japanese to retreat.Join us as we explore their unwavering determination and sacrifice, which defined this critical victory for the Allies in the Pacific while facing incredible difficulties, and helped to solidify just what it means to be an ANZAC.Clips used from Slim Dusty, "Kokoda Track" and Stan Bissett - https://australiansatwarfilmarchive.unsw.edu.au/archive/1223

Kokoda, the defining battle for Australia during World War 2, is a testament to the courage and resilience of our soldiers. But there's an untold story of heroes who played a pivotal role during the gruelling Kokoda campaign: Thousands of Papua New Guineans from villages along the Kokoda Track stepped up as carriers and porters. They walked for miles, carrying heavy loads, while their bravery knew no bounds. These selfless men not only delivered vital supplies to the front lines but also undertook the daunting task of rescuing the sick and wounded, often guiding them through the treacherous mud. Join us as we pay tribute to these unsung heroes whose contributions during the Kokoda campaign are a shining example of human spirit, sacrifice, and unity.

This is the fifth episode in our Kokoda Track series looking at the performance of the 53rd Battalion. The 53rd, a militia Battalion, had some incredibly brave men. Virtually untrained, poorly equipped, with inexperienced leaders, they fought a battle-hardened enemy in some of the worst terrain in the world. This episode looks at the fall of Isurava. Japanese troops in increasing numbers, with increasing persistence and increasing ferocity forced Australian troops to withdraw. Australian efforts to retake Kokoda will need to wait for another day.
