 the ability to twist everything is not particularly admirable. especially as it doesn't ever come off.

It's a very tough trek, my son did it a couple of years ago. He was a very fit 30 year old too.

You are correct about RUDD being the  master of twisting everything.

 

Rudd just embellishes the truth constantly

 

Joe Hockey had to rescue Rudd from a creek and as Joe says now he should have left him there.

 

So can Joe say he survived Kokada?

If Abbott compared himself to men of war that did survive you would all crucify him.... 

 

Rudd didn't "survive" the trek.......he completed a huge challenge but he did not "survive"   omg.. he talks like he is a war hero...

A truly life-changing experience

The Kokoda Trail is one of the world’s great treks, taking enthusiastic, fit bushwalkers on a journey that will challenge and inspire. Follow the path upon which Australian and Japanese armies engaged in bitter warfare during the early days of World War II. Papua New Guinea’s unforgiving, rugged wilderness provides an unforgettable backdrop for a life-changing experience.

Ninety-six kilometres long, the Kokoda Trail takes trekkers through mountainous country that boasts incredible rainforest and jungles that are home to rare species of ferns, orchids and birds. Sparkling mountain streams and steep valley climbs provide breathtaking contrasts throughout the trek.

The Kokoda Trail’s unspoilt villages will welcome you and the kind, generous people of the Koiari and Orokaiva tribes will smilingly present you with gifts of exquisite seasonal fruits and vegetables.

People have died on that trek. Was he comparing himself to men of war?
