Tough, but rewarding

Adventure Kokoda run overland hiking trips on the Kokoda Trail. For those of you reading this who aren’t Australian, the Kokoda Trail is in Papua New Guinea and was the site of a battle between Australian and Japanese forces in World War II. Nowadays, it’s a pilgrimage site for many Australians, whose fathers and grandfathers might have fought in the war. In recent years, the Trail has seen an explosion in numbers, but unfortunately, many operators aren’t as experienced or prepared as Adventure Kokoda. The company treks are all led by ex military officers, with a keen interest in the history and culture of the region. These double page spread were taken from the first book I did for Adventure Kokoda. We came up with the idea of including some wartime poetry in the books, and I wanted to show them to you to give you an idea of how we can include text in any of our books.
