What a bonus to have met Soc along the Kokoda Track in August.
Our group it seems were just walking across the track when Soc invited us to join his group and our experience changed, from focusing on just our fitness level, to the beginning of an emotional journey, intouch with the history and reality of 65 years ago. Soc described the battles, showed us the sites and gladly answered our questions, which enriched our knowledge. Our trek now seemed to have much more historical and emotional purpose.
Soc was adamant that the history of the campaign must never be forgotten - it won't. His knowledge and passion for the preservation of the truth will be remembered and passed on by those who have had the privilege to accompany him on his Kokoda trek. Such a wonderful experience.

Soc is the son of Capt Bert Kienzle who was the planter who coordinated the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels, the 1000 native porters who carried the supplies for the Australian forces. Soc lived at Kokoda for 37 years, so knows it and the history better than any European alive.
One of the interesting things we learned about the guiding companies that are organising treks, is that few are guided by people capable of imparting much knowledge of the history of the Trail. In fact some groups comprise a large number of trekkers (30+) and an even larger number of porters. Inevitably they comprise of people of different fitness and walking capacity, so they string out over a considerable distance. It would be impossible to be continually pointing out significant historical sites to such a group.
We realise how lucky we were to be a small group, all fit and able to stay together, absorbing a huge amount of the history as we went.
Thanks to Soc - a rewarding adventure

"..... I have had a great adventure!
The Kokoda Village welcome was a colourful spectacle and a great tribute to the admiration and respect with which the Kienzle family is held and of course we saw evidence of this in all the villages all along the Trail.
Anzac Day (with Komplete Kokoda) was a most moving experience and I felt most honoured to have played a small part in the Dawn Service.
Having someone impart first hand knowledge and experience of the people, the Trail and its history, as far as I am concerned is of paramount importance - and Soc Kienzle did this so capably"

"My motivation for doing the Kokoda trek was to learn as much as possible about the campaign. Because of his years of living at Kokoda, and being the son of a Kokoda legend, Soc Kienzle probably knows the area, its people and its history better than any other Australian.
He gave us all the facts and figures, but more importantly, through his passion and intimate knowledge, he gave us a deep and very moving insight into the experience of the average Digger who fought along the Kokoda.
For anyone who seriously wants to learn about the campaign and its place in our history, you could not do better than go with Soc Kienzle."

Our family group flew out to Kokoda on a high, with great expectations of a physically challenging adventure, and the opportunity to learn more about the history of Kokoda and the PNG conflict during WW2... the history was a large factor in our decision to undertake the trek as my father, and grandfather to the other members of our group, was involved in this conflict as a member of the RAAF...
KK met, and probably exceeded all of our expectations as we completed our trek at Ower's Corner on a high.
The trek was obviously physically demanding, as expected, but we quickly became adept at pacing ourselves and adjusting to the ever changing walking environment under Soc's experienced guidance... however, from a factual history perspective we all felt that his intimate knowledge of the PNG conflict, much of which came from his own father's experience working with the allied forces, was a highlight of our trip... Soc's account of major battles and in many cases, knowledge of individual heroics, allowed us to clearly visualise what our diggers would have experienced in this difficult environment... the sites we visited off the track of military significance was also a feature (and made us a little fitter over the extra 30 or so kilometres) and made our trip a little different to others.
As a family, we thoroughly enjoyed Soc's candour, local and historical knowledge, and leadership... we would have no issues in recommending Soc and KK as an opportunity for trekkers in the future who wish to learn the real story of Kokoda, and enjoy the ability to absorb the country and its people, at a pace that allows you to do so.
Thanks once again Soc for making our trek a very memorable one.
