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 […]

Amazing, Awesome and something I will remember always. Thank you for an experience I will speak about forever.
I would like to express my gratitude for the wonderful experience Back Track has given me over the last couple of weeks. Every single person from Back Track on the Kokoda trek went above and beyond expectations, everybody! I loved the experience so much, and PNG in general, and can’t wait to return. Thank you, and biggest thanks to our gorgeous Carla and my amazing porter, Danny – beautiful, wonderful people!
Loved every minute! The crew was fantastic, so very very helpful and caring. Gareth was super informative, loads of fun, so much ENERGY. I would absolutely travel with Back Track again. Kilimanjaro here I come!
Excellent Trek information guide. I would not have thought of all things that were covered in the guide. Gareth’s enthusiasm was contagious and his knowledge of Kokoda history was wonderful – he put my mind back 75 years. I had the best holiday ever on this trip. Loved IT!
Thank you for being a part of a great achievement for me in my life. Look forward to future adventures with Back Track Adventures.
The pre-trek documentation was invaluable. Gareth {our Austalian Trek Leader} was simply brilliant. The trek was everything I wanted and expected but even more it was worth every cent. Always love a Back Track Adventures trek and this one did not disappoint.
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!
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!
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.
