Southern Ridges

On the fourteenth of February, nineteen forty-two, forty-two soldiers of the Malay Regiment held this jungle ridge above the sea as the Japanese Eighteenth Division pushed toward Singapore's fall. The guide then shifts to the present, tracing how the Southern Ridges trail joined these once-separate hilltops for the first time in two thousand and four, including Henderson Waves, the undulating two-hundred-and-seventy-four-metre timber bridge you may have just crossed. Listen for the birdsong on the elevated Forest Walk, eighteen metres up in the canopy.
