Battle of Isurava Anniversary TrekTeam 10, 24 August - 03 September 2011 The village of Isurava was the site of one of several desperate battles fought by Australian troops during their retreat along the Kokoda Trail. Their position at Deniki becoming untenable, the 39th Battalion, then the only Australian unti confronting the Japanese on withdrew to Isurava on the night of 14 August 1942. Poorly equipped, the battalion had to dig-in with bayonets, bully beef tins and helmets. The 39th was fortunate that the Japanese did not immediately follow-up their success at Deniki and a lull in the fighting ensued for almost a fortnight, allowing reinforcements from the 21st Brigade to begin moving forward.

Track or Trail ? |

Kokoda Track or Kokoda Trail? Either term is acceptable. Both are respectful and excepted by the majority of campaign veterans. The Track you walk is the exact war time Track from Kokoda to Ower's Corner. You will be walking in the footprints of the heroes of the Kokoda campaign. |
