Company employees walk Kokoda Track to salute our heroes

LAE-based iPi transport company employees walked the Kokoda Track during Remembrance
Day to mark the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels’ involvement with allied forces along the track in World War Two.
iPi chief executive Scott O’Reilly, who respects the people of this country, donated a plaque for Ovoru Idiki, the last Fuzzy Wuzzy on the track.
“It is an honour to have the Remembrance Day celebrated this way by having a mass in Idiki’s Naduri village, where he was laid to rest in a small hut,” the
company’s finance officer Josie Kong said.
“It was a painful and tearful experience when history was told by Nikki George, poems and prayers were read in the forest of how Aussie soldiers fought for our freedom and our Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels came to their rescue.
“We must respect Australians and Americans living in our country for what they did for us.
“They gave away their luxury lives, never complained but always looked for the good thing in life to come, which was freedom and that was what happened.”
