One major reason for the successful defense of the Kokoda Trail is that it is impassable by any type of motor vehicle and there are only a few areas that can be successfully supplied by air. Men and mules had to bring supplies to both sides, and as the Japanese advanced their supply line became longer while the Australian's became shorter. But the ultimate success was probably due to the tenacity of the individual Australian soldiers. They fought almost always outnumbered 5 to 1. When the Japanese took the airfield at Kokoda, they estimated that they had driven back a force of at least 1200 men, but there had actually been only 77 defenders!
