Why do clocks run clockwise...

My friend Pigeon decided he would get a group of friends and trek the Kokoda Trail. The Kokoda Trail, to those who have no idea about it like I was, is actually a track in Papua New Guinea (PNG) traversed by Australian soldiers to dislodge a Japanese fighting force during WW II.

As you might imagine, the reason it's been memorialized is because it was hot, humid, wet, under miserable conditions, and very rugged terrain over a set of mountains and losing many diggers (as Australian soldiers are called for some rather vague reason) along the way.

And you can book a professional to guide you and any group over the same track.

So what does a modern-day trek of the Kokoda Trail have to do with clocks? Well, like caring why clocks run the direction they do, I find the thought of doing something like the Kokoda Trail sparks mild curiosity, but not anything you'd really care to take any further than that.

Have fun, Pigeon (whenever you get my message at a base station with an operational whip antenna...WTF)!
