The Penrissen Sandstone Exploration Day 1 of 2


I haven't been on a good and memorable hike for quite some time already. This is definitely one of the good ones.
This is because of the covid hence the travel restriction. But good thing that the travel restriction has been lifted recently, and we are able to travel again with terms and conditions.

I was being invited by a hiking friend Mr Ian Vong to hike with him to explore a very interesting area in Padawan. I strongly believe this huge area was a meteor crater from its size and shape. 

I am so glad that the weather that day was super sunny, it is very rare that it never rains on my hiking and camping trip. 






I love pitcher plant



Some big wall on the summit of the mountain range


Brownish color water, not stagnant, this looks like the waterhead, there are a lot of big and small waterfalls after this. 


The color of nature is beautiful and amazing. Some parts of the places is covered by moss. 


There are so many big boulders staging between each other, from this point onwards, I am glad that I wear my "kampung Adidas" a good grip is what I needed the most now to navigate myself down. 




Two different waterfalls, and meet with each other, and water then flows into this basin. 




Is it a big drop below






I was fascinated by the rock formation. Why is there are many red stripes in this rock?




A wide area, again I am so glad that it was a sunny day, if we hike on a rainy day, it will be a challenge to descend.







It is the perfect place to camp, with the freshwater flow, flat ground, breathtaking scenery. 

After a long day of the hike, we finally reached our campsite.
The upper part is where clear freshwater, where the lower part is brownish freshwater, and both tributary meets here. 

This is the part where clear and brownish freshwater meets together. and continue to flow downstream.
