The crew was very sweet, attentive and helped me so much whenever the terrain was difficult. They worked so hard and it was so great to meet their families on our rest day in Naduri.
Gareth (our Australian Trek leader) was Awesome. Personable, Knowledgeable, very good with people – made our trek an experience of a lifetime!
The crew were awesome – Guide, protector, cook, porter and friend all in one. Sharlene {our Australian Trek Leader} was fantastic. Great people person and well organised. She helped make the trek a very memorable experience.
The team in the office and on the phone (Kylie & Clare in particular) was very helpful and willing to answer any questions. The food on the Track was very good and always heaps of it. Carla {our Australian Trek Leader} was a fantastic guide – very friendly, encouraging, supportive and engaging.
It was an excellent trek. It was very challenging physically and often quite emotional at the key points along the trek where we paid homage to the Australians how fought in the 1942 campaign. I struggled at times on the Track, however John (our Australian Trek Leader), made sure I was well looked after which was much appreciated.
Trip of a Lifetime. Gareth {our Australian Trek Leader} made our trek memorable. His professionalism and knowledge of the Track is second to none.
Thank you so much Ray (our Australian Trek Leader) for giving me a far better understanding of the events and hardships experienced by our diggers during this bloody conflict. I learned so much and will encourage others to experience it.
The community were very genuine. So nice to meet such wonderful people – ‘Priceless’. Fantastic trip. Thank you to Dan {our Australian Trek Leader} and all the Team at Back Track. Well done!
A challenging trek but Matt our Australian Trek leader was excellent. An encyclopaedia of knowledge, passionate about the history and fun!
Once in a lifetime opportunity. Amazing Trek!
