This memorial to those who died in WW2 is very well maintained and the cemetery is quiet and peaceful. The Remembrance Day ceremonies are held here every year. The staff who maintain the memorial park are to be commended. Also thanks to the Malaysian government and the Malaysian Armed services for their help. A special thanks to the U.K. war graves commission for their support.

I have travelled to Labuan 4 times over the last 7 years and this visit to Surrender Point was very disappointing. Whether it has been vandalised or just in need of urgent repairs the monument has been neglected. The peace park which is maintained by the Japanese Government was it's usual neat self. This is the spot where in September 1945 the surrender took place and how about the Australian Government preserving this monument in a proper manner.

Fun little island off the coast of Labuan's waterfront that allows one to unwind amidst the sun, surf and beach. Camp on the beach, hike to the lighthouse, throw a frisbee, snorkel just off the shoreline, have a drink at the beach bar or spend a night at one of the chalets available, in a simple nomadic beachbum setting and you won't be disappointed!
