KOKODA

About KOKODA Android App

This is Kokoda like you’ve never seen it before. Hear and see the memorable and emotional interviews with the Aussie and Japanese survivors of the WWII jungle campaign and the remarkable Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels.

Interactive 3D images show the terrain and the battle sites in groundbreaking graphic detail. Tilt or tap your iPad to swing the perspective from the Aussie Diggers’ positions to that of the Japanese. See the horrendous conditions: the steep terrain, the mud. Search the names of more than 2,000 Diggers killed.

Conceived by author Patrick Lindsay, the Kokoda app captures the spirit that was born at Gallipoli and came of age at Kokoda: a spirit of mateship, sacrifice, courage and endurance against overwhelming odds. It's a story that continues to inspire today.
The Kokoda campaign turned back a Japanese invasion force bent on capturing Port Moresby by land. Had the invaders succeeded, Australia would have been at their mercy.
