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.
