Death March Trek - ASB10

Introduction: The story of Sandakan and the Death Marches is not only a tragic one from World War II, but also one of the most heroic. Despite appalling conditions, the prisoners of war never gave up. Their heroism, determination and indomitable spirit are testimony to the strength of the human spirit and an inspiration to all. Of the 2434 prisoners incarcerated at Sandakan, 1787 were Australian. The remaining 641 were British. The six Australians who escaped were the sole survivors. The track cut for the Death Marches soon became completely overgrown, and for sixty years defied all efforts to locate it, until in August 2005, the path taken by the prisoners of war was identified. After sixty years, you too can now walk in the footsteps of the Death March heroes.

Please note that for any client opting to pay the single supplement, this covers accommodation in hotels only on the tour, not in accommodation used whilst on the trek, where single rooms cannot be guaranteed.
