Animal farm - Jane Hutcheon reports from London on the UK's increasingly militant animal rights movement -- Kokoda trail - Saving Kokoda - 60 years on from the Second World War, the Kokoda Track, site of arguably the most important battle in Australia's history, has become part of our national psyche. Until recently very few visitors made it along the 96 rugged kilometres of the Track. Last year, more than 3,000 Australians took up the challenge. Reporter Steve Marshall investigates the impact of hundreds of trekkers arriving in a small village at once swamping the locals and their often meagre facilities. As the industry grows money is flowing into the rugged region as never before providing valuable jobs and hard currency in an otherwise chaotic PNG economy. The PNG Government response has been to create a bureaucracy: The Kokoda Trek Authority - which extracts a large fee from each trekking group. -- edited from website |
