This time we decided to trail along the less crowded Rover Trail that offshoot after the Perah Campsite. This double track trail is very much frequented by groups of enthusiastic mountain bikers pursuing their off-road adventure.

As expected, we do really came accross many exciting findings through our camera lens. Everywhere is interesting specimen that attracts our curiousity, and lure us to take a closer inspection. From the bushes, to the forest floor and to up the canopy, our camera shutter continously clicks, capturing interesting images that will further enhance our present image collections.
