The Commonwealth War Cemetery is located in Kapahaha Tantui about 2 kms from downtown. The piece of land on which the graves are located is donated by the citizens of Ambon to be used as a burial ground for the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who had become the Japanese prisoners on World War II, and also the Alliance army who died during the war. This area is an ex-Concentration Camp of Japanese prisoners who mostly were Australian people.

This cemetery is well kept, and one can reach it by using minibuses. All minibuses that leaving the centre of town will pass it since it is a oneway passage.

The ANZAC Day on every 25th of April is held at this spot. The ANZAC Day is an event to commemmorate the soldiers and servicemen and women who died during the first and Second World War.

Many friends, relatives and old-veterans come here to pay tribute to these men and women who lay buried in this cemetery. Any vehicle which come out from Ambon to the north direction will pass this Cemetery, which the people of Ambon called as Australian Cemetery.
