FACILITIES

Before your visit, download this brochure which highlights the features of the Walkway.

 

Ralph Honner Kokoda Education Centre: Named after Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Honner, the commanding officer of the 39th Battalion in 1942, the centre is quipped with Virtual Reality (VR) headsets and serves as a focal point for school and group visits. A digital honour roll (launched at the 2022 Kokoda Day service) projects the names of the approximately 620 Australians killed during the Kokoda campaign onto the windows of the Centre during our office hours.

 

Private Bruce Kingsbury VC Memorial Garden: the new Private Bruce Kingsbury VC Memorial Garden (in front of the Centre) was unveiled at the 2022 Kokoda Day service. The garden honours the outstanding and brave service of Private Kingsbury, the only serviceman awarded the VC during the Kokoda campaign itself.

 

Disabled facilities: The Walkway is wheelchair accessible, and there are disabled toilets at the Education Centre. For further assistance, contact Walkway staff. Rhodes railway station is also wheelchair accessible. Note: the Walkway is not responsible for the maintenance of the toilet facilities –  City of Canada Bay Council staff maintains/cleans these facilities.

 

Cafe: the cafe is not open at present but is expected to do so in the near future. The City of Canada Bay Council tenders the cafe out, and it is not operated by the Walkway.

 

Function/BBQ area: an undercover function area with BBQs, seats, lighting and power outlets can be booked for functions. A booking fee of $100.00 is required.

 

Whilst not part of the Walkway, the 5 Senses Garden is adjacent to the Ralph Honner Kokoda Education Centre. It is a place for the entire community, offering workshops, volunteering opportunities and a space for local growing and social connections. A covered BBQ is also available in the Garden.

The Walkway features the Ralph Honner Kokoda Education Centre and a covered function area, all of which are wheelchair accessible.
