Charlie Lynn – Kokoda

Posted by adventure kokoda | Apr 25, 2023 | ADVENTURE KOKODA | 0

Charlie Lynn, a former army major, first trekked across the Kokoda Trail in 1991. Prior to this only a small number of hardy adventurers trekked across the trail each year.

At this time the combined income of all the villagers along the trail was estimated to be approximately K60,000 per year.

In 1992 Charlie organised and led a group of 20 trekkers across the trail to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Kokoda campaign. His trek featured as a cover story in the Bulletin magazine.
