This effort reflects the Museum’s role as one of the four partner institutions of the Kokoda Initiative, to care for the environment, the people and the Track itself in the region between Owers’ Corner and Kokoda.
The Museum’s caretaker manager, Alois Kuaso, said the Museum has a greater role in protecting and preserving the nation’s heritage and ensure the collections are given greater emphasis. It further focuses on protecting and promoting artefacts available after World War II and the stories that surround them.
