Eerie Place
While he was on an interview with another trekker, Freeman explained what he felt like at the time: “This is a battlefield which is not a memorial but a battle site where you can walk in and experience it. It’s a very eerie place.”
Preserving The Site
A spokesperson for the Australian Defense Force then confirmed that the bodies of the Australian soldiers were to be buried in Port Moresby. The said capital has the closest Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery, after all. Aside from that, Freeman also mentioned that they are also working with both Australian and Japanese government to send some of their deceased soldiers while preserving the battle site in what they call its “current pristine condition.”
