Kokoda Challenge Sunshine Coast

Brisbane WICEN was invited to assist this year in helping the Kokoda Youth Foundation run the 2025 Kokoda Challenge event at Kenilworth in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.

Well, we're on our way again, another #EmergencyCommsExercise, this time for this year's #KokodaChallenge, taking place at #KenilworthQld

We'll actually base ourselves at #SterlingsCrossing outside Imbil which will serve as a checkpoint, but base will be at Kenilworth, as will be our checkpoint.

About half the group will be camped at Kenilworth and half at Stirling's crossing.

I visited Sam for #Caturday … he's very relaxed up at my mother's place.

So for now he'll stay up there, and we'll take him home after that.
