Group description:
Looking for a group to trek with..... going to finish on anzac day next year.
The trail today is a 96 kilometre journey through Australian history. Battle localities are still spread out in the jungle marked by the weapon pits of the combatants, empty, but as if the soldiers who sheltered there had shouldered their packs, walked away and left, only a day or two ago. Relics of theses terrible times can still be found, testament to the ferocity of the fighting and priorities of survival, very different from recovering equipment and personal effects.
Click Here to see the group (if you are a member of facebook of course)
My thoughts: I wouldnt personally ever do it but to all those who feel it helps them connect to the anzacs , good on em !
