Mangrove Garden (Lumut)

One of our crazy weekends and a run up to the North of the country. Stopped over at a Mangrove Swamp Park. A raised walkway had been constructed to allow visitors to enter the mangrove and not get their feet wet and muddy.



Information signboard on the importance of mangrove forest/swamp.




Always on the lookout for these colourful fiddler crabs down the mud below.







Hmmm... under-developed claw?




This is how you get closeups of the fiddler crabs from the walkway. Hold on to something, lean over the edge as far as you can and try not to fall down!




Another use of the mangrove tree ....




A Charcoal Kiln .... that will be another story...
