It was a big weekend for both Kokoda teams on 3 May with them traveling to the Gold Coast hinterlands to a hill called Polly’s Café.  This is a hill that students will walk as part of the course in the 96km event on the 19 - 20 of July. 

There are 5 major hills in the event and students will have to tackle this hill after walking 32km and already completing 2 other major hills.  This is the is also the third hardest hill on the course, with the two hardest hills left for later in the course.  The weather was beautiful in the morning before the Gold Coast turned in on for us, when it began to rain after lunch.  In total, we walked for 6 hours and completed 16kms. 

Students have already began planning their next big hike which will be at the Bunya Mountains on 16 May, their first nighttime walk. 

OLSCC would like to personally thank the following people/business who have donated/contributed towards helping make this event possible.

Both Kokoda Teams would also like to thank Mr Lincoln and his PRAXIS class who have been holding regular Bake Sales with funds raised going to the Kokoda teams.
