Kokoda Nationals Event 2022
This year's Kokoda National Gathering was held in Dunsborough, Western Australia in September 2022.
The event was held at the Southern Stars Holiday Park, Dunsborough and saw almost 50 Kokoda vans attend with over 100 Kokodians.
"The event was a huge success and the week went fantastically well! Everyone had a ball and made new friends. It was a very positive vibe, just like every other National event in the past." Vicki (The organiser of the event)
