What did you do on Labour's Day? For us, we became the tourists in our own city!
We ran away from the city's hustle and bustle and got ourselves in the middle of a wildlife centre.

Matang Wildlife Centre, part of Kubah National Park, is about 35km from Kuching. It is the home for all protected species as well as orang utans.

Be careful of the slippery planks
Those thorny plants
Interesting pattern of the crawling tree
It was a great experience as we get to be close to the nature. Something the children would appreciate and learn.
We did not planned to stay longer there, so all those walking last us about 1.5hours. We were given a map so we strolled the whole park on our own. Albeit the warm sun, we were able to catch the orang utans and other wild animals.
And we also get to dip into this cooling stream. Nice spot for bbq and picnic. We spotted fishes too!
The best part after that?? An epic afternoon nap. Everyone was knocked out after back from the woods.

Can you see the little fishes?

I too love wildlife park. Crawling tree looks like snake. Orang utan looks so relaxed and I love the stream. I too will be knocked out after such an outing. Great post.
ReplyDeleteVery productive day, Rose! I spent my day in the house.. as usual lazying around... :)
ReplyDeleteHello, I found your blog after visiting Nancy's.. I enjoyed your photos and visit to the wildlife center. Looks like a fun place.. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to visit a nature park with the whole family! Can see that even Jamie enjoyed himself! What a beautiful park.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a nice place to be. I wanted to bring the kids to KL Bird Park but is afraid of the crowd. So ended up jalan jalan in the mall which is no difference or maybe even worse where the crowd is concern >_<
ReplyDeleteLovely! I hope they maintain the place well. When my girl was small, there was a very nice agricultural park in Sibu - nobody goes there anymore, I think...if it is still around. At that time, already showing signs of neglect, nobody taking care of it.
ReplyDeleteSo nice the park, good family outing, nice.. Labour's day? We just stayed at home :(
ReplyDeleteI loves this place...
ReplyDeleteHow fun, dear! Love being tourist in my own city too :D
