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.
The Kokoda Track crosses the Owen Stanley Range in Papua New Guinea. The range still has no road through it, and climbing even parts of it requires a high fitness level.

The Kokoda Track is a route in Papua New Guinea which leads from the village of Kokoda across the mountains into Papua towards Port Moresby. It was the route used by a small Japanese force in 1942 to attack Port Moresby. Their attack petered out as they ran out of ammunition and food,, and an Australian counter-attack in strength was mounted. It ended the southward drive by Japanese forces. in Papua New Guinea.

Japan sent a small force from New Guinea south from New Guinea into Papua. This was intercepted at Kokoda by an Australian battalion, which was progressively reinforces. The Japanese broke through and the Australians made a fighting withdrawal to Iorabaiwa Ridge, at which stage the Japanese ran low on food and ammunition and conducted a fighting withdrawal back up the Kokoda Track through Kokoda and back to the New Guinea north coast.
