Before Kokoda, Australians were treated badly. British thought themselves above these 'convicts.' So when Australians won the war at Kokoda, four words and several plarks and memorials were put in their honour. Mateship. Endurance. Fidelity. Honour. People looked up to Australians after that. Especially the Japanese. Considering the Japenese were actually trained and Australians were not. And the Japenese outnumbered the Aussies 10:1. The Aussies seemed like Gods to the Japanese.
Kokoda track battle stands as a symbol of Austrailian participation in the Second World War. The direct effect of Kokoda track was that the Allies succeeded in preventing the Japanese from acheiving their goal of securing strategic points.
The Kokoda Track campaign represented the first time that the national security of Australia was directly threatened. The victory of the Australians was celebrated as the saving of their country by the public.

The Kokoda Track is a road in Papua New Guinea, famous for being the site of a World War II battle. There is much debate over whether it should be called the Kokoda Track or Kokoda Trail; however, in 1972, it officially became the Kokoda Trail.
Countries involved in the Kokoda Track were Australia and Japan.
In the battle of Kokoda, the Australians fought in harsh conditions along the Kokoda Track. They fought the Japanese at Eora Creek, TempletonÕs Crossing, Efogi, Mission Ridge and Ioribaiwa. By mid-September, the Japanese withdrew from the Kokoda Track, defeated and depleted of supplies.
