Before heading to the border monument, you will see the Monument Twins Sabang Merauke, to mark the western and eastern Indonesia. Like when visiting Sota District in less than 1 hour from the town of Merauke some time ago.
Twin monuments Sabang Merauke is referred to as a symbol of the easternmost point. This monument has an inscription that reads' One Nusa One Nation One Language We Homeland Definitely Jaya For S'lama old Indonesian Indonesian Heritage Beloved Country and our Nation and Language Arts Together. "
Furthermore, about 30 minutes from there, you can move on to the park or park Border MM 13 Red and White. Deliberately so named because of the red color of the dominant white to decorate this leafy park. This is really the limit of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
The proof, before entering the garden there is a gate that read 'Good Bye And See You Again Another Day'. Then, the Red and White Garden away a few hundred meters away.
To get to the border monument Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, you have to
walk through the bush. Get ready made surprised, because it was the monument boundary only a small stone measuring half a meter and reads 23.8. Figures 23.8 indicates the date and month marked the end point of the eastern border of Indonesia by the survey team from Indonesia and Australia in 1967. This is the eastern Indonesian border monument truth.After only a small stone monument, the next is the land of Papua New Guinea. Stay jump, Congratulations you've set foot in Papua New Guinea. Or want to try, putting one foot in Indonesia and one foot in Papua New Guinea?
But as far as the eye could see, there are only shrubs, house ants height of two meters and weeds only. Wereafere nearest settlement is the village inhabited by indigenous people of Papua New Guinea and is 15 miles from the border monument.
No problem, you can also meet people from Papua New Guinea passing there. When passed, they will usually say 'good day' to you.
Parks MM 13 or Taman Merah Putih itself is quite pretty. There is ample parking, souvenir shops and restaurants. Unique, the whole building there are painted red and white and there are many words that evoke the spirit of nationalism. Some of them like 'Untukmu Indonesia, Love Unlimited'.
The park turned out to be treated by Ipda Ma'Ruf Suroto, a police officer who has been working since 1993 in the District Sota. In 2005, he moved to reorganize the park that was once only shrubs and not treated.
The results of his efforts, the park is already well known as a tourist destination. Many local people who vacation there to relax in the shady garden, see the anthill of close and definitely feel the atmosphere in Indonesia's eastern tip. Thank you sir!
You can go Sota from Merauke District by car. The tour guide there is Ipda Ma'Ruf Suroto own and there is no standard admission price, aka voluntarily.
The gardens were beautiful, as the eastern border of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea entrance into Indonesian society.
