Carey Island

Located just off the mainland, this island is well known for its aboriginal community, the Mah Meri. Though the Mah Meri have assimilated into the modern life with jobs in nearby farms and plantations, they still retain their unique culture and way of life. Apart from exhibitions of their traditional dances and music, the Mah Meri people are particularly renown for their votive sculptures fashioned from Nyireh Batu (a kind of swamp hardwood).
