NSW 2013: Sydney, Here and There

Walking is the best mode to travel, in my opinion.

Invariably, walking in a very dense city is an interesting thing to do. Imagine every few steps of walk, there is things to see, to touch, to hear, even to smell. Evidently, my girls enjoyed very much from the very eventful stretch from The Rocks to Opera House, through Circular Quay. No second of dullness, no ground to throw a fuss.

Back to the Nature! SBWR

Do you know that there is a 130 hectares wetland site in Singapore?

Over the long weekend (due to Hari Raya Puasa and Singapore's National Day), I dragged my family to visit Sungai Buloh Wetland Reserve (SBWR), a home to a multitude of wetland flora and fauna. 

According to SBWR, more than 35% of the world's mangroves are already gone. In Singapore, mangrove forest cover has been reduced from an estimated 13% in the 1820's to less than 0.5% of the total land area today.

So, I thought: Must go before it's gone!

NSW 2013: Australian Museum

Australian Museum, the oldest museum in Australia. Established in 1827, it is the home of a wealth of exhibits encompassing natural history, skeletons, minerals and gems, Australian fauna and Aboriginal culture. Among all, seeing fossil dinosaurs in the dinosaur exhibition was the highlight of our visit. All because of my dear daughter is a fan of Dinosaur Train and has learn a lot about the extinct creatures. As a mother, I should ride on her interest to pay a visit to the Museum.
