You'll be participating in both a personal discovery experience and an historic Borneo adventure. This Trek is being run as a Fundraiser for the courageous kids of Camp Quality and their families in an effort to raise awareness and some much needed funds to help us to continue to run our Camps and Fun Therapy activities.
Sandakan is one of the most tragic Australian stories of
World War Two. But it's also one of our most heroic. The Trek will follow the original route as closely as
possible as Sandakan Spirit, our professional trekking company, avoids using
“short cut”, “eco” or alternative tracks that are logistically easier, ensuring
that you see the real Borneo, and the original Sandakan Death March Route.
We visit the haunting 8 mile Prisoner of War Camp at Sandakan; explore the Sandakan town including the Catholic Church where the prisoners first stayed on arrival in the area. Our trek across the Sandakan Death March Track takes us to many of the historical and heroic areas along the track, where our Australian Soldiers lost their lives in tragic and barbaric fashion.
