Kokoda Dawn is a story of one soldier's deployment on the Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea during World War II.  The term "Kokoda Dawn" was created by the lyricist as the fiction term for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).  Although our soldier hears this term from experienced soldiers during his journey, he naively thinks that Kokoda Dawn is a beautiful, majestic place only seen at the top of the Kokoda Trail (the front line) in the mornings.

Amongst the experienced soldiers there, Kokoda Dawn is the first few seconds in the morning on waking up where you are disorientated, immediately fearful of death knowing that you have fallen asleep in a hostile environment.  Unbeknownst to the soldiers, it is PTSD however in their Australian larrikinism, they have labeled it "Kokoda Dawn".

Our soldier's journey takes him very near the front line on the Kokoda Trail with a mortar round wounding him causing repatriation back to Australia and naively he was disappointed that he didn't see "Kokoda Dawn".  However the story does end well with him not being killed and one less soldier without PTSD.

* Reference to "Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels" pays homage to the PNG tribes who helped Australian soldiers win the campaign.
* The lyricist is an ex-serving Australian Army Sergeant﻿
