We have also revised ALL tour dates and now include a visit to the Beachheads at Buna – this is where our diggers finally defeated the Japanese forces in January 1943 after pursuing them from Kokoda. We lost more lives during the Beachhead campaigns of Gona, Buna and Sanananda than during the Kokoda campaign.

WILSONS PROM NORTHERN CIRCUIT

In late January, we did a test walk of the South West Cape of Tasmania. This walk starts from Melaleuca airport, the same as for the South Coast Track, however the walk veers off to the West, and does a long loop back to Melaleuca.
This was undoubtably a tough walk. It is for experienced hikers only, over rough and some unmarked terrain, scrub bashing, swimming a creek crossing, steep ascents, and steep descents, and some over very exposed terrain.
