At Kundasang War Memorial & Hot Spring



We went to Hot Spring on our second day in KK. My fiance's bestfriend, named Michael and his family brought us there. It about 3 hours journey to Hot Spring. I've been there before with my friend Edwina, so not too excited.

On our way back from Hot Spring, we stop by at Kundasang and saw a sign board Kundasang War Memorial. The view from the top of this place is really really great. Established in 1962, this was one of the first memorials to commemorate the brave Australian and British Prisoners of War who died in Sandakan and during the infamous death marches to Ranau during World War II. The memorial also remembers the people of North Borneo who risked their lives to help the POWs. The Memorial is made up of four beautiful gardens - the Australian Garden, the English Garden, the Borneo Garden and the Contemplation Garden and Pool - to represent the different nationalities. With its towering pine trees and blooming roses, a walk in the gardens is reminiscent to that of a stroll in a quaint English garden.
