Trip Highlights
- Trek a historic route, learning from an expert about the brave, heroic and ultimately tragic Australian and British Prisoners of War, captured by the Japanese in World War II.
- Pay homage to them, and to all who serve today, by digging deep to summit Mount Trusmadi, Borneo's second highest mountain, and arguably a tougher summit than Mount Kinabalu.
- Learn about the wonderful jungle flora and fauna as you trek.
- Understand local culture and sample delicious food while staying in traditional guesthouses and a Borneo longhouse.Faith in Families want Swansea City to be a great place for everyone to work, live, grow and play. We want every child to have not only the chance to be their best but the opportunity to do so – whether that is to play football, cook amazing meals, create the best new hairstyle, be the most compassionate nurses, the next future politicians or business leaders in our city.
