Kokoda Trail
The Kokoda Track is a single-file foot thoroughfare that runs 96 kilometers. The Kokoda Track Authority was established in 2003. Before this only a few diehard adventurers used to make the trek, no more than 50 per year. In 2006 that number climbed to 3,700. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokoda_Track http://www.kokodatrackfoundation.org http://www.pngbd.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23370 http://amordepareja.com/2009/07/23/a-review-of-the-png-kokoda-track-authority [|Military myths part 3: The Kokoda Trail]
