The Kokoda Trail is a place that lures Aussie trekkers every year to experience its untouched wilderness, historical significance, and challenging physical toll.

The track is no easy feat - up to 10 days' trekking for up to 12 hours a day, up and down steep mountains in 40-degree heat with 80% humidity. On top of all that there's heat rash, stomach bugs, and treacherous river crossings.

It goes without saying then that CAPS' own John Powell, from our Adelaide branch, deserves a massive congratulations for his tremendous achievement in recently completing the Kokoda Trail. 

In John's own words, the Kokoda Trail was "10 days through the best jungle you will ever see. Long live the diggers!"

Well done John!
