Recently I enjoyed/endured the opportunity of a lifetime: walking the Kokoda Track with my son (Matthew) along with 29 other Year 11 students, staff and dads who are connected with the School. Four of the dads were Old Trinity Grammarians from the 1979 and 1980 cohorts.  The walk was as much about the history of Australia’s efforts to protect its mainland borders as it was about the physical challenge of walking the distance.  We all read many books before leaving, but nothing prepared us for the emotional reality of being at precisely the same locations where our troops achieved and endured so much.
