Popular and passionate Back Track Trek Leader, Darren Muller has surpassed his Fund-raising target of $10,000 which will ensure the Naduri Health Centre, which is located in the middle of the Kokoda Track, can maintain a full time Heath nurse for another 12 months. To raise the funds, Darren is attempting the herculean effort of kayaking the Burdekin River from source to sea. You can still contribute and support the people of Kokoda by donating.

By Anna Cochrane – Team 16, 2018 In November of 2016, I decided to set the goal of doing one of, if not the hardest, jungle treks in the world! This set me on a path of training, training and more training. All the feedback I had from friends or […]

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.
Thank you for being a part of a great achievement for me in my life. Look forward to future adventures with Back Track Adventures.
Thank you for an amazing experience that exceeded every expectation I had. The physical and mental challenge can’t be described in words and to be able to say that I completed the Kokoda Track is something that I will never ever tire of. The crew and porters are some of the most beautiful people. Their kindness, care and support is second to none. A great holiday. Thank you a million.
Words can’t describe how great Dan (our Australian Trek leader) was he made my trek better than I could ever imagine. Thanks Dan you’re a great bloke!
Kathy was, and is, a fantastic trek leader and a jewel in the Back Track’s crown. A wonderful company providing once in a lifetime experiences!
Beautiful scenery. Excellent Australian Trek leader, Tony, and great company from my fellow trekkers. Enjoyed it immensely. I had my birthday on the trek and that’s the most memorable and special one I’ve ever had.
Having everything included in the package made it more enjoyable and so much less to organise. Joining in on the Saturday walk with Ray from Back Track was great training and preparation leading up to the trek. Sharlene {our Australian Trek leader} was a fantastic leader and looked after every one of us every step of the way.
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.
Gareth, our Australian Trek Leader, displayed exceptional leadership, PR Skills, compassion, knowledge and kindness. Gareth really made the Kokoda experience unique and memorable. He was liked by all and he inspired everyone.
It seemed very expensive at first but after having completed the trek, I see where the money goes. The local trekking crew was fantastic, wonderful. Gareth {our Australian Trek Leader} was magnificent – That man needs an award!
