Kokoda – The Return has been cancelled due to lack of participants.
Nevertheless, I plan to undertake the trek in June as part of one of BackTrack’s Team groups.
I would welcome others to join me and I can be contacted through the Friends office.
We are planning another Kokoda Trek in 2010
Twilight walk was CANCELLED on 19th Nov
Kapunda Great Success.
What looked like a steamy weekend turned into a milder one, with some great walking, great people and some very good food.
As with all end of the year affairs, the weather can play a big part in messing up the best laid plans.
For those that wimped out, you can catch-up with E2E4 in 2010!!
Come hear our Trek leader, Jim Drapes, talk about the Kokoda Track.
All your questions answered by someone who has walked Kokoda 13 times.
If you’re even slightly interested in doing the trek then this is a must.

Too easy really.
Jenny Benn and David Sands, two of our Tasmanian members, have completed almost a month on the Trail.
They walked from Kapunda to Cape Jervis, using a variety of B and B’s, camping out and some luxury hotel accommodation (if you could call the Victor Harbor Hotel luxury). The walk took them from 3rd September to 1st October and from the various SMS messages and phone conversations they had a great time, albeit wet on occasions.
Loved the Trail, the variety, struggled up the hills, were almost blown away at Mount Cone.
Overall they thought the Trail in great shape.
Tm Baierâs short stereoscopic production filmed in the Flinders Ranges that screened at Iris in July will also have 3 screenings at the Art Gallery of SA on Sat Nov 29th – 11am, 12.30pm and 2pm.
