| The desecration of a Kokoda Track war memorial in Sydney has upset veterans, who are struggling to grasp why anyone would want to damage the site.
The Kokoda Track Memorial Walkway, which links Concord Hospital and Rhodes train station in Sydney's west, was vandalised sometime between Friday night and Saturday morning.
Graffiti was sprayed on parts of the site and a number of CCTV cameras were smashed.
Rusty Priest, chairman of the Kokoda Track Memorial Walkway board, estimates a damage bill of $50,000.
The state government stepped in late on Saturday, announcing it had set aside $10,000 for immediate repairs and would also cover the entire cost of restoration.
