Good morning, Kokoda Kids, especially everyone from Canberra and of course, Lisa. Great to be able to follow your progress and Bede especially is with you every moment. Of course, in 1942, he could never dream of being a phone call away from Australia on the Track! And who would have thought about email!

Look out for the plaque at Templeton's Crossing and don't forget to hug a tree. We both know you are smiling all the way!

Bede, Garry and Sandra
