I've been thinking of walking the Kokoda Trail in a year when I retire (I'm American). Have any of you done it? I'd sure like to hear about it.

Not apparently a popular idea, even down under.

Are the Golden Stairs still walkable?

My cousin is the only person I know that has walked the Kokoda track, so it's not really a popular thing to do here in Oz. It's physically demanding which probably prevents a lot from doing it.

There was a news story online about Kokoda today.

Have had quite a few friends and colleagues who've done it. Apparently a very worthwhile experience for the war / history buffs.

Thanks!

Good luck.
