The roadway running past the campsite of 2/4th Field Ambulance (not in view) towards the two starting points of the Kokoda Trail. Further on, one branch of the road leads directly to where Australian troops are fighting the Japanese, while the other branch leads to Koitaki and Itiki. These two villages later became the sites respectively of a hospital and of a convalescent area for sick and injured soldiers. (Donor A. Hobson)
