Kusu Island & St. John's Island

29 November 2006 - First roll ever off the Olympus IS-3000. Fujifilm Sensia, cross-processed.

"Saint John's Island, previously known as Pulau Sakijang Bendera, is one of the Southern Islands in Singapore. It is located approximately 6.5 km to the south of the main island of Singapore, off the Straits of Singapore.

Saint John's Island formerly housed a quarantine station for leprosy cases detected among immigrants until the 1950s, a penal settlement and a drug rehabilitation centre. The 40.5-hectare hilly island was transformed in 1975 into a tranquil getaway with swimming lagoons, beaches, picnic grounds, trekking routes and soccer fields. The island is also a haven for a host of flora and fauna, and is popular for weekend visits.

The island, reputedly haunted according to some local traditions, was the site of Sir Raffles's anchorage before meeting the Malay chief of Singapore in 1819."
