Jong’s Crocodile Farm Revisited 2 Feb 2014

Almost every year we would visit Jong’s Crocodile Farm whenever we come to Kuching. This year also the same, we came back here again for I can not recall for N times already.

It is a must go place because the children love to see the crocodiles and animals! Apart from crocodiles, there are also numerous rare species of birds and animals found only in the Borneo Island.

We can have the enchanting experience of walking freely among the monkeys, leopard-cats, sun bears, bearcats, pheasants, civets, barking deers, sambar deers, turtles, fruit bats, monitor lizards, pythons and even southern cassowary.

One and only known Crocodile Museum in Malaysia. You will come across the museum as you enter from the entrance.

The Museum accrued not only the Skull of the legendary Bujang Senang, but have records of most of the historic men-eater crocodiles in the region.

Visitors will also get to see gallery of historical photos, close-up on crocodile's eggs, crocodile skeleton replica and also it's nest.

Here we can experience feeding live crocodiles at our daily feeding demonstrations located at one of our many saltwater crocodile ponds!

Watch, with your own eyes, majestic crocodiles leaping several feet into the air from the swamp! Get up close and personal to feel the gush of wind coming from their massive bites and the splashes from their giant leaps.

The Arapaima feeding demonstration is located at the middle of gigantic Fresh Water Pond, where the Arapaima and more than 15 other species of freshwater tropical fishes habitats.

Visitors can also take a rest here in the gondola like stage after while watching the fishes feed. With the Arapaima swimming around in the pond & water lilies floating around, it might just bring some relaxation through the natural Zen.

We did not take much photos as we have came here numerous time before. Just a few group photo shots and big close up shots on the animals.

 

Kuching General Post Office 1 Feb 2014

During this trip back to Kuching, we did walk about near the main bazaar area in town. We did pass by The Main Post Office on Jalan Tun Haji Openg.

It is another good example of Kuching’s cosmopolitan architectural mix. Built in 1931, it appears to belong to the early 19th century with its neo-classical style and Corinthian columns.

This majestic building was designed by Denis Santry of Messr. Swan & McClaren Architects (Singapore). Completed in 1932 under Charles Vyner (the third Rajah), the Neo-Classical facades were quite in contrast to the style of buildings favoured by James and Charles Brooke (the first and second Rajah).

The site was once used for a police station and also the Rajah’s Stables. Occupants of the old Medical Headquarters across the road fondly recall looking to the Rajah’s Stables, surrounded by areca palms, to the coach house, hay loft and harness room, and watching the horses being fed, watered & groomed.

The post office marks the beginning of Sarawak's first trunk road. A letter addressed to any mile along the road is guaranty to get delivered. This building will soon become the new home to the Sarawak Art Museum.
