Punda Maria Gate & Day Visitor's Centre

Post by Toko »

Punda Maria Gate day visitors picnic site is usually quiet and small, there is a little kiosk and a small environmental education centre with information boards. It is about 5km from Punda Maria rest camp, just at the park gate.

I seem to recall such a site not so long ago,...
however this one received a major upgrade,

or maybe rather, a major maintenance service!!
