I had a half day outing to
Bintulu town yesterday and had taken a few shots at the riverside.
There are not many express boats at the
Bintulu wharves these days. It seemed that their days are numbered due to the accessibility of remote and upriver areas of
Bintulu by a slowly expanding road network .
Bintulu 's main economic stay has always been timber and it is still dependant on this abundant forest resources today as ever. The
Kemena River, that is the principal river of
Bintulu is the main
thoroughfare of tugboats that tows barges of logs to the timber industrial complexes at the
Kemena Timber based zone, some three kilometers away from the mouth of the
Kemena River. In the distant hill is the
Jepak telecommunications tower . The village located down the hilly landscape and partly built in the river is where the local
Melanau fishermen live. The above views I took from the wharf edge at
Bintulu town proper.
