Crocodile Farm, Telok Sengat

Crocodile Farm is situated at near Telok Sengat town, among the palm trees and beside the Johor River.
The owner, claim the farm is the biggest in Malaysia boasting of more than 1,000 crocodiles in captivity. And the oldest is more than hundred years old. He inherited the farm from his father. Prior to that, his father was a fisherman. A baby croc he caught by accident changed his career and passion for crocs.

Mind you that this is a farm, meaning they are selling the skin as leather, teeth and bones for medicinal and ornaments purposes
and the meat is very expensive at RM80 per kg.

Coastal Road Sedili - Desaru, Johor

We continue our way, after a short break at Jason Bay, Sedili, Johor, we drive towards Kota Tinggi through the coastal road. Very rarely we encounter cars from the opposite direction. I don't think I would want to drive here at night..... very creepy and quiet without any settlements.

And I was a bit worried as my petrol is diminishing fast....

Anyway while at it, we still enjoy the sceneries.... (Taken by my children while I'm driving)

At Sedili Kechil

Along the way (the Coastal Road)

The monkeys....

We just enjoy the drive...........

Sedili - Jason Bay @ Telok Mahkota, Johor

Dari Mersing terus ke Sedili... Melalui Pekan Jemaluang dan kemudian ke persimpangan kampung Mawai untuk menuju ke Sedili.... penulisan lama ada yang mengeja Sedeli.... cerita sebenar kena tanya orang kampung....

Dah hampir 17 tahun tak sampai sini, padahal ramai saudara-mara sebelah emak di sini, termasuklah keluarga Pak Ngah ku Allahyarham Datuk Usman Awang @ Tongkat Waran.

Tiba di Tanjung Sedili, petrol dah tinggal suku, cuba cari stesen minyak tak jumpa-jumpa.

Jeti Tanjung Sedili

Pekan Tanjung Sedili dah tak semeriah dulu-dulu tak ramai orang kerana dah tak ada lagi bot penambang untuk menyeberang Sungai, sungainya pun walaupun cantik hijau dan luas kerana terletak di Muara tak banyak bot atau perahu seperti 30-40 tahun dulu.

Lebihkurang 40tahun dulu pernah naik bot penambang menyeberang ke Sedili Besar, dapat lihat buaya ditengah Sungai dengan mulut ternganga luas.

Identiti Tanjung Lembu pun dah hilang, kerana tak ada lagi lembu berkeliaran.... Sedili dah maju....

Minyak dah kekurangan, tawakal teruskan perjalanan mana tahu jumpa stesen minyak, kali ini melalui jalan arah Sedili Kecil.

Singgah sebentar di Jason Bay kini dikenali sebagai Telok Mahkota. Masa kecil disinilah tempat kami sekeluarga berkelah. Dulu tempat ini meriah dengan pengunjung, masa tu Desaru pun tak wujud lagi. Dulu tempat ini tidak terjaga, penuh dengan tahi lembu, sekarang dah di jaga rapi dan terdapat chalet di Jason Bay Resort.

Anak-anak seronok tapi tak prepare untuk stop.... lainkali akan stay sini dan bawa layang-layang....

Sungguh nyaman berehat di pantai... dibawah pokok ru dan angin Laut China Selatan (South China Sea)


Jabut di pantai yang surut mencari makan

Tetapi pemandangan disini tetap indah......

Large number of these creatures living in a very large lake at Paya Indah Wetlands.

Be careful, be very careful they just lurk in the water near you.

Don't worry, the place is enclosed with fences.

The biggest named Dol, swimming along the water monitoring the visitors and other crocs.

Jumping to catch their meals.

Feeding frenzy, Dol is very jealous if other croc manage to get catch a meal. Other croc are afraid of Dol.

Dol is showing off his catch... Notice the chicken head peeking out at the corner of his mouth, and the feet sticking out.

Dol the Croc.

Lot more pic of croc not uploaded.

Paya Indah Wetlands - Hippo

We visited the place last year, due too many things at hand it was put aside for awhile...

Paya Indah situated at dengkil accessible from Putrajaya through Dengkil, or from Banting to Dengkil, or from KLIA. The place still under reconstruction and relanscaping, the Chalets are available but only for group bookings, not for individual yet. Currently only a quarter of the land were open to public. The place is really large and for the time being we can drive in through all the places except for restricted zone.

Now here are some of the attractions to the place.

The Hippo showing his teeth during feeding time, they were fed with tall grass and some fruits, i.e. bananas and papayas.

Feeding time is at 10 a.m. everyday, so for visitors want to get close to the Hippos and feed them make sure be there by 10a.m.

These Hippos can be vicious at times, so be aware when approaching the enclosure.
