Quarries Walk-26Feb2022

Granite, which was once used in construction works in Singapore, was mined in several areas around the island. This Igneous rock is several times stronger than concrete and played an important role in Singapore’s early development. The island’s strongest rock formation was found at Gombak Norite. At one time Nine quarries used to operate in this region.
After mining was stopped and now no longer used as quarries, these former mining sites are now breath-taking spots, turned into lakes, attracting birds, dragon flies, turtles, fish. The cliffs can be admired from safe distance from viewing decks.

We take you around four such former quarries of the west Little Guilin, Bukit Batok Nature Park Quarry, Hindhede and Singapore Quarries. We start from Bukit Gombak MRT and end at Rail Mall, where you have variety of choices for lunch.
