Kokoda and Beyond - MHHV Conference

16/4/2016

Today five No Roads Expeditions guides attended a conference about the Kokoda campaign in WWII in PNG organised by the Military History and Heritage Victoria organisation and hosted at the Camberwell RSL. The conference was very interesting with a range of presentations that covered different topics such as the air war over PNG, jungle warfare, sea power naval involvement, an interesting session on planning exhibitions, and a presentation on Australians and their pilgrimage and penance visiting the PNG battlefields by David Howell from Kokoda Historical.

A very special part of the conference was meeting and having a yarn with three Kokoda veterans from the 39th Battalion: John Akhurst (98), Wallace Carr and Bill Stuart.  They were able to answer questions about their experience on the front line with John able to recount in amazing detail aspects of events that occurred 74 years ago!

Menari Fuzzy Wuzzy Faole Passes Away

3/3/2016

Comments

 
It is with a heavy heart that we let you know of the passing of Faole Bokoi in the early hours of this morning.

Faole was the last surviving Fuzzy Wuzzy Angel from Manari village on the Kokoda Track. Faole was a long-time friend of KTF, spending time with us over the years in Australia and always welcoming us with open arms into his home and community.

Faole passed away peacefully surrounded by family and loved ones. Our thoughts are with his family, especially his two sons, Saii and Bokoi. Rest in peace.

Kokoda and Beyond Conference

16/2/2016

Comments

 
In early 1942 the Japanese set their sights on capturing Papua & New Guinea. A series of defensive battles at Milne Bay and along the Kokoda Track, as well as the naval victories in the Coral Sea and at Midway Island put the Japanese on the back foot. Then followed a series of Allied offensive operations that drove the Japanese back and provided the springboard for General Douglas MacArthur’s successful advance into the Netherlands East Indies and the Philippines.

This one day conference examines a critical period of Australia’s military history. This conference will include fresh analysis and insights from a highly informed and relevant range of historians and veterans. The conference, convened by Military History and Heritage Victoria Inc., will be held at the Pompey Elliot Memorial Hall at the Camberwell RSL on Saturday 16 April 2016.
