Are you ready for an extraordinary challenge trekking the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea? This November 2023, Team Black Dog will be deep in the jungle, trekking to help create a mentally healthier world and support people living with mental illness.
Regarded as one of the world’s greatest treks, the Kokoda Track links the south and north coast of Papua New Guinea across 165 kilometres of rocky mountain terrain, tropical rainforest and remote villages. You’ll challenge yourself as you trek for nine days, following the Track through mountain streams, up rugged jungle trails and under thick tree canopy, retracing the steps of the ANZAC soldiers. Best of all, you’ll walk side-by-side with fellow supporters of The Black Dog Institute and raise funds to help fund programs that will create a mentally healthier world.
