Track it is

p. 24 · Read in the full issue

Fred Turner’s personal cam paign to have the Kokoda Trail known widely as Kokoda Track (there was a letter from him in PIM in May) seems to be bearing fruit.

The PNG Tourist Board has agreed to delete the word “trail” from all future publications and use the word “track” and the Port Moresby Tourist Association, Fred says, has also agreed to revert to the original name (of track). Fred now intends to write to the PNG Names and Places Committee asking that Kokoda “Track” be officially recognised, and he believes he won't have any trouble.

Anyway, PIM gives Fred its assurance that it too will be using Kokoda Track in the future.
