No amount of training could prepare them for what was to eventuate as they set out along the infamous Kokoda Trail. John 'Sammy' Newman, well known for his antics and often controversial behaviour on television, was tested to his limits during the 8 day trek from Kokoda to Owers Corner. Referred to affectionately by his peers as the Fossil, Sam disregarded his age and courageously battled his way up and down each and every hill. Kokoda has a profound and humbling effect on people and the trek revealed a side of Sam not often seen by the public. Garry, a former Melbourne Demons captain, led the charge, surprisingly convincing his mate to take on the challenge. Garry took a keen interest in the WWII history of Kokoda prior to the trip; however no literature could ever do justice to the feelings evoked from being in the midst of the untamed, unrelenting but beautiful terrain he encountered along the Kokoda Track.
