Berkelah Waterfall

Berkelah Waterfall is one of the most popular waterfalls in Malaysia. The impressive series of multiple cascades that you can find there and its accessibility make it easy to see why that is so. Unfortunately, one is reminded very quickly that with throngs of people comes mounds of rubbish. Before we go on, please jot down the numbers that are listed below.

Chemerong Waterfall

Reputed to tower upwards of 300 metres is the mighty Chemerong Waterfall, located in the Pasir Raja Forest Reserve in Dungun, Terengganu. The waterfall lies at the trail head for the Chemerong-Berembun-Langsir (CBL) hike, which is located fairly close to the main entrance of the Chemerong Forest Reserve. A short, hour-long hike from there will bring you to the base of the waterfall. Before we go on, please jot Read more

The reservoir is the deepest body of water in New Jersey and is also sometimes referred to as the 'Bermuda Triangle' of New Jersey due to the multiple drownings that Read more

Echidna Trail

Walyunga National Park is located just next to the Darling Scarp, an escarpment that lies to the east of the Swan Coastal Plain. The park itself is known to contain one of the largest known Aboriginal campsites that can be found in and around Perth, a campsite that has apparently been used for more than six thousand years. The carpark that lies just next to the start of the trail can be reached by following Walyunga Read more
