Wikipedia: The Kokoda Track is a single-file foot thoroughfare that runs 96 kilometers (60 miles) overland – 60 kilometers (37 miles) in a straight line – through the Owen Stanley Range in Papua New Guinea.

The Kokoda Track Authority – kokodatrackauthority.org – was established in 2003. Before this only a few diehard adventurers used to make the trek, no more than 50 per year. In 2006 that number climbed to 3,700.
