Village Superstition
Throughout the years, the army uniforms decomposed, but several garments such as the leather boots, belts, and gun holsters were still very much intact. Though villagers knew about this place for a long time now, their superstitious beliefs kept them from exploring or touching anything in the site. They feared that the ghost of these fallen heroes would come back to haunt them. Freeman believed that he had actually been the first white person to have stumbled upon it since 1942.
Battle of Eora Creek
Brian found the lost battle site where the Battle of Eora Creek had happened. Way back in 1942, the battle is believed to have started on the 11th day of October and ended on the 28th. The Australian soldiers called the Diggers hailed from the 16th Brigade. They must have trekked through the jungle on the Kokoda Trail. The Japanese forces had already advanced and planned to use this part of the region to attack the mainland region of Australia.
