Croc Sighting And Lush Scenery Captivate Visitors To Temburong
By Glen Joseph

Temburong - Taking advantage of the Hari Raya festive season, a group of more than 60 foreign nationals working in the Sultanate speeded off to Temburong on the first day of Hari Raya Aidilftri on Tuesday to have a jolly good holiday.

Accommodated in two private boats which started at 8am from Bandar, it was a day of fun as they criss-crossed the snaky river, singing songs and shouting especially when the driver suddenly slowed down the engine and shouted, "watch out, see the big crocodile taking a sun bath".

Many crocs were spotted and they wondered how people could live very close to these repitiles. On arrival at Bangar boat jetty, the picnickers were very much amazed to see the little, lovely, clean and green township where they had a photo session. For many in the group, it was their first time in Temburong.

The first stop on the narrow road was the Taman Batang Duri zoo, but sadly all the little kids were very disappointed, as the zoo was closed.

They moved on to the Outward Bound Brunei Darussalam (OBBD) crossing the hanging bridge, where many of the ladies were a bit scared of walking on a bouncy bridge.

The holiday-makers returned at around 5pm the same day. "Lovely la! This place looks like a paradise, with its deep green virgin forest and so many different kinds of lovely small flying creatures. It's really a place to relax after a tiring work schedule," said Daniel Moses from Assaf Telecommunication which organised the trip. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
