Testimonial by Richard Page, Grafton, NSW
The physical challenge gave me some perspective of how difficult it must have been for the Diggers, carrying a much heavier kit and fighting the Japanese at the same time.
Kokoda Track - July 2008
"Overall highlights...
Our trek leaders incredible extent of knowledge which brought the whole history of the campaign into perspective. Getting to know, walking and camping with a group of interesting guys and a gal was a terrific bonding experience culminating at the point where we walked through the Arches congratulating each other. Every member of the group were so supportive. I can't remember ever receiving so much moral support. Maybe this had something to do with me being the "mature age" student of the class. It was a good feeling and meant a lot to me.

It was rewarding to be one of four father and son teams in the group and a wonderful experience to achieve this goal together with my son Ashley"
