Our Spirit Content - Kokoda Track

To save you time and money, Our Spirit have put together all the basic trekking equipment you will need for the jungles of PNG into one package. It's the the most convenient way to order all your trekking supplies at once (saving on delivery costs) and have it delivered to your door within 5 working days.

Our Natural Bamboo Kokoda T-Shirt was created to ensure the legend lives on and the spirit of the young ANZAC diggers who fought on the Kokoda Track is worn with pride in acknowledgement of the freedoms we enjoy in this lucky country.

Our Spirit trekking socks were researched, designed and created by Aidan Grimes after many adventures over 20 years frustrated by the lack of quality product looking after the most important part of trekking.. your feet. These socks are Left/right specific with cleverly placed pads to help prevent blisters and chaffing.

Our knee-high socks contain the well-known natural antibiotic Silverwool to help protect your feet from hidden nasties and compression fibres to aid recovery.

No more sweat in your eyes! This bandana can be worn many ways and be used during trekking or sports, or it can be worn as a fashion icon. The unique design is also a great momento of the Kokoda campaign.

This beautiful piece of artwork brings to life the true essence of what the Kokoda experience is really about. Tracing the journey that our brave diggers took. And mapping out the track where you and your team also shared an incredible voyage of self discovery. This artwork talks of the endurance the passion and the spirit of our diggers that you felt first hand. Not to mention the beautiful smiling faces of the PNG children.

In part 4 some of the Diggers really let loose with their views.... in regards to what a true leader is to them.. and Blamey gets a mention... interesting

The Diggers of Kokoda when interviewed about leadership, offered their well thought out views as to what are the key components of great Leadership. Having risked their all in so many theatres of war they offered some good old fashioned down to earth advice on how to be good leader

With a major focus of staying in the present the Kokoda Track teaches you to set goals that you can achieve now. The track does require you to set a high standard of discipline and adherence to those standards throughout the time frame of the trek in order to be successful.

Often people forget the reach of influence they have on others, and this story proves that point. When an isolated village in PNG can put a game of Rugby League on and rollout "Darren Lockyer" imagine the influence on Australian kids, who follow these icon types closest movements.

One of the most interesting feedback we get is from clients habitually telling us that participating in the Kokoda Track in its pure and isolated environment allowed them the opportunity to break habits.

Aidan had the great opportunity of walking the Kokoda Track with a great group of Indigenous people, who shared their culture and learnings with him, as they followed in the footsteps of lesser known Indigenous soldiers who fought on the Kokoda Track. It was part of a Leadership course that has gone on to make a huge positive contribution to making this country great. One of the requests at the end was to see the Flag fly at arguably one of Australia's most important battle sites.

At a time when we are all concerned about what we term "leadership values" and the need to develop them. The Diggers of Kokoda were asked the question: what makes a good Leader? here are their collectives answers.

One of the greatest accomplishments is to learn what you can from the past and how to apply those lessons to the future which represents possibility. As part of this focus an understanding that a difficult past can make a successful future even more rewarding.

Learning to deal with and overcoming adversity is what builds character and resilience. Every challenge and every difficulty we successfully confront in life serves to strengthen our will, confidence and ability to conquer future obstacles.

When taking on a challenge it is essential to have the right equipment. One of the most important key areas is choice of socks, to look after your feet. We have often heard of terrible situations that arise because someone has been advised incorrectly or simply purchased an inferior product. The areas of blister prevention, chaffing, foot strike, infection, can be reduced with the correct product.

It is common knowledge now the benefits kids and adults receive from spending time in nature. However, recently it has come to light that there is potentially a condition called Nature deficit disorder NDD that modern kids are exposed to due to the modernization of society and the lack of opportunities to play and explore.

Now more than ever there is a need for this newly formed association to represent the bona fide tour operators who lead, guide and work with tour activities along and on the Kokoda Track/Trail and the northern beach, Kokoda connected, battle areas in Papua New Guinea.
