Porters, Ethics, and Responsibility on Kokoda
Porters are the backbone of every Kokoda trek — yet their role is often misunderstood or overlooked. In this episode of The Kokoda Track Podcast, Glenn Azar explores the ethical responsibilities that come with trekking Kokoda and explains why porter welfare, respect, and partnership matter far more than convenience. Drawing on decades of on-Track experience, Glenn unpacks the power dynamics at play, the difference between ethical and exploitative systems, and the role trekkers themselves play in shaping the culture of Kokoda trekking. This episode is essential listening for anyone who wants to walk Kokoda with integrity.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- The real role porters play on the Kokoda Track
- Why ethical responsibility matters in trekking
- What good porter systems actually look like
- How trekkers contribute to respectful culture
- Why leadership is revealed under load
