This isn't a solo effort. It never has been. 🎒

Every trek runs on the local crew who carry the weight of it with us, quite literally. This moment is a small piece of a much bigger partnership that makes Kokoda possible.

Respect goes both ways out here.

The goal isn’t just to get veterans across the track.

It’s to help them come home ready to keep moving forward.

One trek can be the beginning of something much bigger.

Some of the best moments on Kokoda happen in between the trekking.

A simple moment sharing photos with local kids quickly turns into connection, laughter and curiosity.

It’s these small interactions along the way that make the experience so memorable.

This is Kokoda too.

Community supporting community 💚

A huge thank you to George Cross Cruisers Car Club for their incredibly generous $10,000 donation to Walk With Us Kokoda!

This is what community is all about. Coming together, supporting one another and making a real difference in the lives of others.

Contributions like this allow us to continue the work we do, building connections, providing support and creating a community where no one has to walk alone.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone at George Cross Cruisers Car Club for getting behind our mission and showing what can be achieved when communities come together.

A donation to Walk With Us Kokoda does more than help cover the cost of a trek.

For many veterans, sponsorship can be what makes this opportunity possible. Your donation helps fund a turning point, not just a trip. It also supports local PNG communities through employment along the track and helps support the ongoing journey veterans take after they return home.

Make a donation via the link in our bio and help make the Kokoda experience possible for more veterans.

Ask any trekker and they'll tell you, the small moments add up. 🌿

A spare gear, a quick check of the pack, a bit of advice passed along the track. This is what looking out for each other actually looks like on Kokoda.

Some of the deepest conversations on this trek happen sitting in a creek with your boots off.

Two generations, two different eras of service, one shared understanding. This is what mateship looks like when the pace finally slows down.

Completing the Kokoda Track was never the end goal. It's the starting point.

Walk With Us Kokoda exists to inspire and develop veterans, not just get them across 96 kilometres of the Kokoda Track. For many trekkers, that impact continues long after they return home. We've seen veterans step up and get involved with their local RSL sub-Branches, contributing to their communities and the broader veteran movement.

That's an outcome we want to keep encouraging. We back the mission of RSL NSW, and we're proud to help build the next generation of engaged veterans and future leaders.

Kokoda can be the catalyst. The impact happens long after the trek ends.

Meet Tyson Pringle. This November, he’s walking the Kokoda Track with Walk With Us Kokoda.

Tyson served for 12 years as a Combat Engineer in the Australian Army, including two deployments to Afghanistan and multiple operations across Australia. For Tyson, walking the track is an opportunity to honour the courage, sacrifice and enduring legacy of all those who have served - past and present.

Walking 10–20 November with WWUK / Raising the Bar.
