Mt Kinabalu National Park 25th Dec 08


- This is how we spent Christmas Day 2008 -


Mt Kinabalu 4,095 metres above sea level. We drove/walked to the park headquarters at 1,563 meters. Click here to go to the Wikipedia page about Mt Kinabalu.





Kane having a snack on Malaysian saladas on a hike trail at Mt Kinabalu Park to see a huge waterfall.


The waterfall in the distance


A rapid at Poring Hot springs, it was a ghostly blue/green/white colour... beautiful. Poring hot springs was built during Japanese occupation of Borneo and is now a major tourist attraction. It also has some hikes to waterfalls, a canopy walk high up in the rain forest, a butterfly farm, orchid farm and a few other attractions. It too is part of the Mt Kinabalu National Park.

Kane on the canopy walk platform which is really a steel and rope suspension system and you walk on wooden boards, it was really scary.

Kane in a fresh water pool next to a waterfall. It was pretty cold he told me. There were heaps of Muslim's around and so I didn't want to strip down in front of them. You can see from the other 3 heads that they are covered in hajib.
