KUNDASANG
SABAH

Just back from Miri - 3 days ago. Still tired to write any new entry / post. When I look through my photo's collection of Sabah, I realized I've forgotten to mention about Kundasang. This peaceful town is located near to the Kinabalu Park - about 6 km. It's location near to the Mount Kinabalu makes this town so cold and clean. It's renowned for its vegetable market which is open daily and has a panoramic view of the Mountain Kinabalu.

Another interesting place in Kundasang is Kundasang War Memorial Park. First opened by Major G.S. Carter, a New Zealander employed with Shell Oil Co. (Borneo); in memory of 2,428 British and Australian POW who had died during World War II. The casualties mainly due to the suffering of series of death marches from Sandakan to Ranau - about 160 + km!

Kundasang War Memorial Park - where the parks dedicated for the fallen heroes of the World War II - Australian, New Zealanders, British and the struggle of the locals in providing aid for them. With me Hisyam and Izraf.

The memorial park is really a nice place, mainly divided to 4 main sections / parks - the Australian Garden, the English Garden that have a lot of roses, the Borneo Garden rich with native flowers such as orchids and tropical pitcher plants; and 'Contemplation Garden' with a reflection pool and pergola.
