Batu Kawa-Singai mini expedition trip with Wilson Chin


20140114_094609wtmk
This morning I'm going for a mini expedition. Location is on the rural Bau-Singai area. To go there, you will need to take the turn from Batu Kawa to Matang road.
I did map this trip on google earth, but unfortunately google did not update this map, it was since 2008. And from google earth, this area was covered by clouds.

I'm now in a forest garden, where its full of fruits, flowers, and the sound of insect. I can hear the water sound, very close by. So I am going to seek for this river.

What I manage to found is not just river, but two beautiful waterfall too. The water very cold, and fresh. I saw fishes,and shrimps swimming happily in the water. This reminds me of my trip to Lambir Hill National Park at Miri, where I finish my drinking water, and had to drink the stream water, and there are fishes in the water that time, so my guess its that its save to drink.

tree fell down
From the looks of the crack line, can tell that this tree just fell down not long ago. It a pity to saw this big tree like this, imagine how many years does it take for it to grow that huge and tall, and how many oxygen that it can produce for the people here. Must educate our friends to cherish and protect our forest.
