What are the washing/cleaning/toilets/shower facilities on Kokoda like?

The facilities on Kokoda are very basic at best.

  • Toilets on the Track and villages are known as ‘long drops’ and ‘short drops’.  These are simple, deep pits or short pits that have been dug in the ground for use as toilets.  There are no toilet seats.  These facilities have a roof and screen over them for privacy.
  • You do need to take your own toilet paper (2 rolls).
  • The river is used for the shower and washing facilities or in some villages a simple water pipe is used to flow the water onto the trekker for washing.  Washing of clothes is done in the river.  We suggest you bring environmentally friendly soap.
  • Antibacterial Hand Gel is essential.
  • There are no specific changing rooms on the Kokoda Track or villages.
