Daerah Lundu, Sarawak


WELCOME TO LUNDU SARAWAK


The Arms of the Lundu District Council (Majlis Daerah Lundu) : Above, Gunung Gading; a Rafflesia; Pandan (and/or Siar) Beach, and water that can be both the Batang Kayan (Kayan River) and the South China Sea.


The town's "totem animal," from which it takes its name:  an ikan lundu, literally "lundu-fish," a freshwater, bottom-feeder, catfish like thing, "Arius orMacrones species" (Anthony Richards, An Iban-English Dictionary.)  Photographed at the Sematan (alas) fish-market, 17 June 2005.


Lundu lies in the west of Sarawak, on the west bank of the Batang Kayan (Kayan River), and not far from the South China Sea. The road from Kuching to Lundu measures, all in all, about 90 km. 

By car: From the center of Kuching, take Rock Road to Third Mile bazaar, and continue on Batu Kawa Road. At the time of writing (25 March 2004) Batu Kawa Road is being widened, so expect obstructions. Continue over the Sarawak River Bridge and straight to the end. Turn right (to the west) and drive straight on the Bau-Lundu road.

By bus: The Sarawak Transport Company runs four busses in each direction from the Kuching Express Terminal at 3 ½ Mile. Trip time is about one and a half hours, and the fare is RM12.00.  The Express-Bus Terminal is best reached by taxi.

But now there is a new way of Matang Highway with only through Sempadi and Ferry Road Rambungan. With the new road, the travel time is shorter and faster to get to Kuching.
