This is a wonderful day to meet some of the veterans you would have read about who fought along the Kokoda Track. It’s an informal fun day, with the bar opening at 10.30am for drinks at public bar prices. Lunch will follow at 12.00 noon. There will be interesting guest speakers and you should aim to arrive for early drinks or by lunchtime. If you need to get away straight after lunch that is no problem as many will have to go back to work. I think you will find the reunion very interesting and a wonderful experience.
