If you so happen to venture to the rear of one of Canberra’s most highly sought after museums (AKA the Australian War Memorial), you’ll find yourself at the trailhead of the popular Kokoda Track up Mount Ainslie. Due to its location, the walk was named after the Australian wartime efforts in Papua New Guinea’s Kokoda Trail. Enjoy summit views that stretch right down the parade to Parliament House.
