It’s a relaxed day out designed to bring war widows together in remembrance and companionship, facilitated by our Wellbeing Team.
War widows walk
War widows are invited to a guided tour of the Kokoda Memorial Track Walkway. The Walkway is a peaceful and tranquil memorial featuring a magnificent Memorial Centrepiece surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, in stark contrast to the brutal and inhospitable conditions endured by those who fought in New Guinea. The Memorial Rose Garden features plaques dedicated to those who served.
The tour will be followed by a lunch and guest speaker in the Education Centre.
Transportation assistance to and from the Kokoda Memorial Track Walkway is available for those who meet the requirements of our War Widows Transport Program.
