Australia and Papua New Guinea, walking together, side by side. 🇦🇺🇵🇬
Anzac Day, Wewak PNG with 1RAR and 2RPIR
Courage. Endurance. Mateship. Sacrifice. Words that adorn the Memorial at Isurava on the Kokoda Track where I was honoured to commemorate Anzac Day at a moving ceremony, together with PNG Prime Minister James Marape.
We gather before the dawn for the generations of Australians since Gallipoli who have served in our name. Every Anzac Day we honour all who have served, and all who continue to serve today. It is our collective act of remembrance, reflection and gratitude. Lest we forget.
The Kokoda Track runs across the hills and mountains of Papua New Guinea. And the Australians who fought here repelled relentless attacks from the advancing Japanese forces despite being malnourished, exhausted and outnumbered.
We can walk the Kokoda Track today in freedom because of those who fought to keep it free. The bravery of those who made the ultimate sacrifice here lives in our nation’s memory.
Together with Prime Minister Marape, I’ll be walking part of the Kokoda Track. We’ll be walking in the footsteps of giants.
As we approach Anzac Day, Prime Minister Marape and I will be walking part of the Kokoda Track together, in a spirit of commemoration. ‘Kokoda’ is synonymous with the spirit of mateship, courage and endurance forged between our countries during World War II.
The deeds of the Australian troops in Papua New Guinea are what the Anzac legend is made of. Here at the Kokoda Track Memorial Walkway, we remember the men who fought and died, the locals who supported them and the families who mourn them. Lest we forget.
Transnational serious & organised crime remains a threat to both 🇵🇬 & 🇦🇺. Glad to see that the 🇵🇬-🇦🇺 Policing Partnership has built a deep & trusted partnership with positive results such as Operation Gepard which saw crime syndicate members apprehended. thenational.com.pg/png-aust-drug-…
🇦🇺 is committed to working with 🇵🇬 to support the capacity of the PNGDF to deliver on PNG defence priorities. The recent 🇵🇬 - 🇦🇺Defence Infrastructure Governance Board (IGB) discussed current and future projects as well as ongoing sustainment of existing defence infrastructure.

Australia and Papua New Guinea, walking together, side by side. 🇦🇺🇵🇬
Anzac Day, Wewak PNG with 1RAR and 2RPIR
We gather before the dawn for the generations of Australians since Gallipoli who have served in our name. Every Anzac Day we honour all who have served, and all who continue to serve today. It is our collective act of remembrance, reflection and gratitude. Lest we forget.
Anzac Day asks us to stand against the erosion of time, and to hold on to their names. To hold on to their deeds. We will remember them. Lest we forget.
It is heartening to see so many Australians who have made the journey to be here. We paused to remember the sacrifices of those who fought to defend this land.
Courage. Endurance. Mateship. Sacrifice. Words that adorn the Memorial at Isurava on the Kokoda Track where I was honoured to commemorate Anzac Day at a moving ceremony, together with PNG Prime Minister James Marape.
As we reach Isurava and prepare for tomorrow’s Anzac Day service, I’ve been truly humbled by the experience of walking in their footsteps alongside PNG Prime Minister James Marape.
The Kokoda Track runs across the hills and mountains of Papua New Guinea. And the Australians who fought here repelled relentless attacks from the advancing Japanese forces despite being malnourished, exhausted and outnumbered.
Australians, Papuans and New Guineans, fought alongside one another across this landscape. Together, we honour them.
We can walk the Kokoda Track today in freedom because of those who fought to keep it free. The bravery of those who made the ultimate sacrifice here lives in our nation’s memory.
Together with Prime Minister Marape, I’ll be walking part of the Kokoda Track. We’ll be walking in the footsteps of giants.
