Went for nature walks today since the weather has turned better. It stopped raining and the sky is clear. First, we went to see different species of plants at the Botanic Gardens. Sadly, most of the flowers in the Rose Garden are dead due to the heavy rain. However, the types of vegation are more varied than Singapore because of the weather here. There are also greenhouses for desert plants and rainforests. Next, we hiked up Mt. Kiara which was punishing initially because I am so unfit. There was a family trimming the trees along the trail. My friend said that a forest fire broke out a couple of years ago and looked like Mt Kiara has a volcano that erupted. The reward for the first part of the hike was a stainless steel scuplture made by the UOW Arts students which resembles a silver inverted ice-cream cone. The spectacular view of the city and the ocean makes the hike worthwhile.
