The Kokoda Track website has been set up by the Commonwealth Government Dept of Veteran Affairs in conjunction with the staff of the NSW Board of Studies.
Included are details of topography, animated maps and video interviews. This will be a great source for students studying this topic as part of Australia in World War 2.
The website is at http://kokoda.commemoration.gov.au/
