    Based in Adelaide, South Australia, the Legacy Kokoda Fraternity (LKF) is a social network of adventurers who have walked the Kokoda Track or those who intend to do so. It was formed in early 2009 and now has more than 300 members.

    As a common interest network, the LKF organises occasional social functions with guest speakers and other events such as regular weekend walks and information sessions for trekkers aspiring to walk the Kokoda Track.

    Legacy Kokoda Information Evening

    Where: Legacy Club of Adelaide Inc.
    102 Franklin Street, Adelaide.

    When: Tuesday 2 February 2010, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
    Cost: Free of charge (but please telephone 8231 9812
    to book your seat).

    Learn what it takes and how to prepare for one of the toughest treks you could encounter.
    Our guest speaker is Wayne Enright, owner and principal trekking guide for Free Spirit Adventures, an Adelaide-based adventure travel company that has been taking groups to the Kokoda Track since 2003.

    Wayne is a specialist in team and leadership development, adventure-based learning, and life coaching. He has a background in physical and outdoor education, health counselling, and adventure guiding. Wayne’s adventures have taken him to places such as Canada, New Zealand, Japan, Malaysia, the Pacific Islands, Tasmania’s wilderness areas, and the Australian outback, but his first love is taking groups to the Kokoda Track. Wayne is qualified in Wilderness First Aid and Remote Area Emergency Response Skills, and his company, Free Spirit Adventures, provides a unique ‘remote adventure preparation’ program.

    If you (or any of your friends) are contemplating a Kokoda trek sometime soon, come along and get answers to all of your important questions.

    Our group of 12 trekkers (July 2009) raised funds for Legacy in Sydney.
    It would be good if they could arrange a similar 'club' here.

    Sounds like a good idea – happy to pass on any details that may help. Would be great to have this network go country-wide.
