Chek Jawa trip

Chek Jawa - Sunday 28 Jun 09

It was a beautiful and sunny Sunday morning when 30 residents gathered at Siglap CC for their trip to Chek Jawa.

After a bus ride, boat ferry and short van shuttle; we arrived at the Chek Jawa information kiosk where we were met by 3 guides from NParks. From there we were split into 3 groups of 10 and each group was guided by one of the knowledgeable guides From flora to fauna and all creatures on land as well as in the sea; participants were enthralled. The highlight of the trip was being able to go down to sandbank for a closer look at the various forms of sea creatures like sea-cucumber, starfish, sea-shells, crabs etc etc.

It was a very educational and well organized trip; thanks to Jake Tan and Emann.

Pictures show participants at the sandbank, old man selling durian and a Tongkat Ali tree.
