Testimonial by Gina Mitchell
Our Spirit did an amazing job of putting all those snippets together to paint a true picture of what our diggers all went though on the track. Here's a little song I wrote, "Don't worry - Walk Kokoda"
Kokoda Track - ANZAC 2008
"I've been captivated by the story of the Kokoda Track. What a remarkable tale of human spirit. I am honoured to have walked in the footsteps of our diggers from 66 years ago. I knew the facts of the Kokoda Track history before I arrived in Kokoda, and I felt a deep sense of pride for the sacrifices they made all those years ago.
It is one thing to know the story, but another to feel it. Our Spirit did an amazing job of putting all those snippets together to paint a true picture of what our diggers all went though on the track. The trenches, battles, the sickness, the hunger, the cold, the mud, the pain of losing your mates and the courage shown by them all.
Here's a little song I wrote, Don't Worry - Walk Kokoda
There's a little track I know,
We're going to walk the highs and lows,
Kokoda...... We're walking
And up the 'bloody track' we climb,
With our leader, Aidan Grimes,
Kokoda.......We're walking
Through the creeks we cross the land,
With a legend's helping hand,
Kokoda....... We're walking
And in the mud we slip and slide,
But all we feel right now is pride,
Kokoda........We're walking
Along this track the diggers fought,
That kind of freedom can't be bought,
Kokoda....... We're walking"
