Australian troops and Papuan carriers on the Kokoda Trail, 1942
Australian troops and Papuan carriers crossing the Brown River, between Nauro and Menari, by means of a huge log fallen.
Native carriers proved invaluable on the Kokoda Trail, carrying food supplies, ammunition and guns to Australian troops. They also carried wounded soldiers out of battle zones, and saved many men from death in the jungle.
