Tips

Lee Shipley

December 27, 2019

The Mt Ainslie walking track between the remembrance park above the Australian War Memorial and the summit of Mt Ainslie has always been a favourite exercise route for the locals because it has an excellent all weather surface and well maintained by the rangers. However it has been made even better by the introduction of a series of memorial plaques that describe in miniature scale the epic defence of Port Moresby in Papua-New Guinea by Australian Forces in WW2. Each plaque you will find tells a story of what happened as the Japanese tried to take the last major town on the mainland.

There’s water available at the summit of this track near the lookout.
