BEACHHEADS TOUR – BUNA, GONA & SANANANDA NORTHERN BEACHHEADS EXTENSION TOUR
Add this extension tour to Trek Kokoda
Allied victories at Milne Bay and along the Kokoda Track destroyed Japanese plans for capturing Port Moresby. However, 9000 Japanese remained entrenched in the eminently defensible northern beachheads of Buna, Gona and Sanananda.
The weary Australian units, who had pushed the Japanese across the Owen Stanley Range, were called upon to attack and capture Sanananda and Gona, even though many units were down to one-third normal strength. Lieutenant General Robert Eichelberger, Commanding General US I Corps described the Japanese utilisation of terrain “perfect” and “brilliant’ at Buna. Two regiments of the United States 32nd Division were given the task of capturing Buna. Together the Allies would finally push the Japanese out of the territory of Papua. This extension is perfect for those wanting to visit these important Allied battlefields as we walk in the footsteps of those who served and those that paid the ultimate price in 1942-43
