Just my two bob's worth, I have several thought's on this and they are:
1. It does matter.
2. I have only heard it refered to as trail.
3. When they started "Walking the trail", it was call "The Kokoda Trek" (as in adventure).
I am sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but it is just the names I have heard used.savage(Eric)

For those who didn't notice, the second photo refers to it as a track.

You trail types are wrong and when I can find the site, I'll post the link.
When the Australians named the TRACK, it was called the Kokoda TRACK. Then the yanks came and didn't like the name and changed it to trail. The signs are in the process of being changed to reflect it's true name.

(From 1942, under American influence, the track became known as the Kokoda Trail). By mid-1942, however, there was great pressure on troop numbers. Experienced soldiers of the AIF were fighting elsewhere, mainly in the Middle East and North Africa.

That actually says Koloda track
But I have heard of it referred to as the Kokoda Track all my life, so its not a recent media thing. Also sounds very American if thats true that they came and changed it.
