A beautifully kept cemetery in the shade of flamboyant trees, it is also known as the Australian cemetery due to the large numbers of Australian servicemen buried here. The cemetery on the site of a former Japanese Prisoner of War camp is the resting place for Australians who died in the Japanese invasion and in the camp itself. There are British servicemen too mostly from the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force . During my research I read the following which anyone planning to visit should bear in mind........ "Please be aware that there have been a number of instances recently where visitors have been charged to enter the site. We would like to state, categorically, that the Commonwealth War Graves Commission does not charge anyone for entering any cemetery, and visitors should not pay anyone, in order to gain access."
