Geography trip to the Beach

by Fazrenna mks.


On 29th January 2012, Geography & Travel and Tourism students, under Sir Stuart’s and Teacher Ainun’s supervision, had a trip to 3 beaches: Tanjong Batu beach, Muara beach and Serasa beach.

Students got there early at around 6:15AM to assemble before setting off to their first destination, Tanjong Batu beach. When everyone had arrived, they set off at 6:45AM.

It took about 45 minutes to get there. They had to go through a forest, that was quite slippery as there was slight rain before they arrived and they also had to overcome another problem, that is landslide. The landslide left them no choice but to find another way to get to their destination. 






At the beach, they learned about some of the coastal features, explained by Sir Stuart, Teacher Ainun and the two other teachers that had decided to tag along. The students took some time to learn about the beach and its land forms. After that, they decided to go to their next destination, Muara Beach.






At Muara beach, the students stopped to have some breakfast to fill their empty stomachs and after that they assembled themselves at the Singapore memorial sculpture. Sir Stuart did some explaining on that about  the geography topic on tourism to the students.




Then at Serasa beach, Sir Stuart explained to the students about rip rap, something which they learned in Geograpy. There were many facilities and games in serasa beach, for example: the flying fox, kayak, water surfing and many others. Unfortunately, the students didn't have enough time to play but they took some time to buy some food from the merchants there. 



After eating lunch and having fun at Serasa beach, the students went back to the place where they first assembled themselves to make sure everyone was present. They left the place at around 1:00PM.

Overall, the trip was fun yet educational. The next class will be going for trips on the 12th and 19th  February, under the supervision of other lecturers.
