Busselton Jetty
At almost 2km long, the Busselton Jetty in the town of Busselton, Western Australia is said to be the longest wooden jetty in the southern hemisphere. A long jetty was required as ships were unable to dock closer to the shore as the waters of Geographe Bay where it’s located is too shallow. Clarence and… Continue reading Busselton Jetty

Shooting the Last Days of the KTM Railway
I was not much of a railway person. The KTM railway in Singapore has been around for nearly 80 years, but like most people, I never thought much about it.

A Walk From Rail Mall to Bukit Panjang Level Crossing
Having been inspired by Jerome Lim, author of The Long and Winding Road, I was pleasantly surprised to find that he’ll be leading a walk together from the Rail Mall to the Bukit Panjang Crossing. I’ve actually walked that route the previous week, but I wanted the opportunity to meet him in person so I… Continue reading A Walk From Rail Mall to Bukit Panjang Level Crossing

Today,… Continue reading Tanjong Pagar Railway Station
