Kokoda Track Memorial Walkway

The Kokoda Track Memorial Walkway is a war memorial and walking track that serves as a unique tribute to the Australian troops who fought in World War II Kokoda Campaign from July 1942 till December 1943.

The Memorial consists of an Education Centre for school, community groups and the visiting public. A Memorial Centrepiece showcasing sandblasted granite images from the Kokoda Campaign with a cascading waterfall for quiet remembrance. The Memorial Rose Garden, where over 500 plaques are dedicated to the memory of individuals or specific units who primarily served in the war, and the Walkway itself.

Consisting of more than 800 metres of pathway, the Walkway starts at Concord Hospital to Rhodes railway station and features 22 information stations, each describing a significant place or engagement of the campaign together with photographs and maps which outline how the campaign was fought. Along the pathway lush tropical vegetation environment has been planted, simulating the conditions of the original Kokoda Track.

Support for the Walkway comes from Local, State and Federal Government as well as RSL NSW and their sub-branches.
