Aidan's passion, historical knowledge, involvement in and explanation of the Kokoda campaign left one with a sense of awe and humility about the contribution that our Diggers made to the defeat of the Japanese forces in New Guinea.

The trek was not only filled and delivered with well researched first hand historical information, it was also conducted very professionally and with the safety and enjoyment of the trekkers in mind.

Our Spirit exceeded all my expectations in providing the entire Group with a rich “life time experience” conducted in an unobtrusive safe environment with the support of the local “Legends”.

I will never forget the beauty and majesty of the tropical wilderness, the friendliness of the villagers, and the mateship of the other members of my group. I feel like a stronger person for being there. I feel connected to the diggers now."

This has been a life changing experience and one that I won’t forget or waste. Thank you
