Next place...Ranau

Ranau is a town located in West Coast Division, in the center of Sabah, east Malaysia on the island of Borneo at an altitude of 1176m above sea level

Its population was estimated to be around 70,649 in 2000, almost entirely ethnic Dusun. It is on the main road connecting Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan. It is one of the gateways to Mount Kinabalu National Park and to Poring Hot Springs.

The Kundasang War Memorial Display Garden has plants and flowers from Borneo,
Australia and Great Britain. Ranau was the terminus of the infamous Sandakan Death Marches of World War II.


(a gesture of kindness and thought to all the victims)
