Thread: Ujung Kulan national park.

planning a travel thread this weekend, Ujung Kulan national park.


but unfortunately the english version of the website is.....

UNDER CONSTRACTION


Taman Nasional Ujung Kulon

How tedious. What was the point of posting this?

You're right, perhaps I should get back to the thread of telling the english teacher he is a lazy cvnt and deserves what he gets, or the poor dumb dino that i hope more girls rob him blind.

I'm working on a travel thread, slow beginning, but it shall be built upon, its gonna be done in real time.

wikipedia is slightly more help...

Ujung Kulon National Park is located at the western-most tip of Java, Indonesia. It includes the volcanic island group of Krakatoa and other islands including Handeuleum and Peucang. The park encompasses an area of 1,206 km² (443 km² marine), most of which lies on a peninsula reaching into the Indian Ocean.
It is Indonesia's first national park and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992 for containing the largest remaining lowland rainforest in Java. It is also one of only two homes of the critically endangered Javan Rhinoceros. A population of fifty to sixty live in Ujung Kulon, a smaller population of possibly 10 or less, live in Cat Tien National Park, Vietnam.



The mainland part of Ujung Kulon was formerly farmland until it was devastated and depopulated by the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa after which it returned to its original forested state.
Permits for the park are available at the town of Labuan, where there is a National Park office. There is also an office at Tamanjaya. Accommodation is available on Handeuleum and Peucang islands.

So you're presenting a thread about developing a thread. Great.

What about a thread about a thread that might lead to a thread about a thread that may come about if a thread is forthcoming depending on if there's a thread there.

for info.

unfortunately they aint much help if you dont speak indo.

I've found a tour company that offer boat trips from Anyer (about 2-3 hours west of Jakarta on the coast) Bubble Tour and Dive

they will take us on a boat from Anyer down to the park and back but it appears to be quite expensive....
Welcome..... to Bubbles Tour & Dive - Powered by CO.CC
They also do tours to Krakatoa

Interesting to note about Krakatau.....the folks that have developed continuous studies and observations have suggested strongly that this 'monster' is due for another blow. Perhaps more potent than the 1883 eruption. Wonder if people realize the worldwide climate affect the fall-out caused. Quite a number of well-received books on the subject.

anyone got any info for me?

I found some good info on this website!

MFDA Personal Blog :: It's about me

apparently it should take about 4 hours drive (but this is a long weekend...)

I hope to see some of these guys !
