Village Superstition
Over the years, the army uniforms rotted away, but things like their belts, leather boots, and even gun holters were still very much visible. Although villagers knew about this battlefield for years, their superstitions kept them from exploring or touching anything. They feared the ghosts of the battle still haunted the land. Brian Freeman guessed he was the first white person to see the battlefield since 1942.

Battle of Eora Creek
Brian had finally found the lost site where the Battle of Eora Creek took place. Back in 1942, the battle began on October 22nd and only ended seven days later after much bloodshed. The Australian soldiers, known as Diggers, from the 16th Brigade hacked through the jungle on the Kokoda Trail. Japanese forces had been advancing and planning to use this region to launch an attack on mainland Australia.
