Honoring Their Ancestors
Each year, thousands of Australians embark on the trek through the beautiful but rough jungle path. The pilgrimage is meant to honor all of their fathers and grandfathers. One such trekker is Brian Freeman. He mistakenly thought he found an important battle-site, “I used to stand at the site where we thought the battle was fought and brief the trekkers about it – but things didn’t add up. It was too small, it wasn’t in a good defensive position. I mentioned this to a villager one day and he pointed up the hill and said: ‘That’s our village secret up there’.” Things were about to come together.
