Singing Dunes


This place has been our favourite hangout place on Saturday afternoon....a late minang lunch, a walk about to clear the tummy and off we go to the singing dunes with a bag of Dorritos and watch the sun set over the dunes!

Why its called a singing dunes? strange enuff when you slide down these soft soft dust like sand it make a huge sound ...almost bass like. The 1st time we went...we weren't not very smart we started climbing from the middle of the dunes....it was impossible, a unfit person like me i could only go 1/2 way , caveman all the way up in multiple stops, bubbles 1/4 way and lulu didn't even try :P. Then we saw another family, obviously with some experince started climbing from the lowest point and walk up the dunes....then we felt ohhh how silly are we...ding dongs!! sooo we did...we started again from the end and walked up the dunes and it was amazing to be on the top, bit errie with the dusty skyline. When the wind blows the sand looks like fairy dust, shimmering gold.

Yesterday, being pros...bubbles just ran up the dunes and beat all of us, unfortunely lulu was abit cranky and wanted to be carried all the way, so caveman had a good work out yesterday.
I didnt bring my camera up the dunes coz i didn't want to carry any excess but next time ill try


Some studies have been done but still no one can really explain it. Leave it to nature i'd say.

The dunes sound like an amazing place. They sound peaceful. And I like that they "sing." That's a pretty amazing force of nature.

This is beautiful. It's amazing how so many things happen naturally and are difficult to explain.

You're so lucky to be able to experience one of the wonders of nature.

Sekarang, I rasa macam nak tengok gurun. Someday, someday :)
