ride on a truck @ dairy farm


















wanted to show victor the work that was being carried out at the site of the old warehouse and bungalow which would be part of the dairy farm nature park, scheduled to be ready at the end of 2008. the bungalow would be converted to a ranger station and the warehouse into classrooms and a centre showcasing the heritage of the area.

after breakfast at eat at rail mall, we walked in the direction of the railway track. the disused track besides the railway line used to serve a small squatter colony which consisted of a few ramshackle old houses. we got onto a road which led to the singapore quarry. the water level in the quarry pond had dropped considerably.

we backtracked and walked towards the moe dairy farm campsite. from there we moved on to the dairy farm quarry, which has been covered up for sometime already. met a few groups of deyi secondary school's students on a field trip. as we reached the gate leading to the site we found that access was denied because the workers were carrying out some hazardous (to health) work - removing asbestos from the old building.

we proceeded to walk towards dairy farm road. that was when the truck came along and the driver stopped for us and offered us a ride to the main road. we both sat at the back of the truck.
