PORT MORESBY - Papua New Guinea (PNG) has been hailed as the last adventure in the world and a world class adventure destination.

This sentiment was shared by Charlie Lynn, Parliamentary Secretary for Veteran Affairs in the New South Wales Parliament in Australia, during the launch of the Kokoda70 "Honouring their Legacy" website is to honour the deeds of the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels during World War II.

He said that Kokoda70 honours the mateship, sacrifice, courage and endurance shown during the war. The website is www.kokoda70.org.

Go live: January 01, 2012, is purposely to commemorate the fallen PNG heroes during the 70th anniversary, next year.

It will also create a flying billboard on the side of Air Niugini's Boeing 737 which will show the map of the Kokoda Trail to create unprecedented awareness of the iconic Trail and ensure that young Australians and PNGeans continue to learn about the bond that was formed 70 years ago.

Lynn who is also Trek Leader for Adventure Kokoda and walked the iconic Trail 61 times since 1992 said that PNG is an interesting and challenging country with thousands of cultures and languages with a selective adventure based market.

He said there are lots of people all over who want to experience what money cannot buy and adventure tourism is a renewable gold only found in PNG.
