The Kokoda Track, Papua New Guinea - Archaeology and Historical Research

CONSERVING AUSTRALIAN HERITAGE OVERSEAS

The Project

Extent Heritage undertook archaeological surveys and site recording on the iconic Kokoda Track, Papua New Guinea. Our work identified over three hundred sites illustrating its World War II history, including weapon pits and battlefield artefacts. We prepared a conservation management plan to guide the future management of the site.

Value Unlocked

Extent Heritage played an important part in the development of a policy framework and action plan for the ongoing conservation of an iconic heritage place with significance to not just Australians but also the people of Papua New Guinea, America and Japan.
