Still on the festive raya season. After all it lasts a month until 30th September or so. However now I'm diverting out of celebration to some sort of exploration... allegedly I guess... :]
Thursday 1 st of September, that is about a week ago, the third day of raya. While many were still in the thick of celebration, on the spur of the moment I brought the wife and baby to a part of Muar which I have never ever been to before.
This part is called Pulau (island of) Penarik, an inland big island formed by the changing course of the Muar river.
Anyway this part of Muar is now officially part of a new district called Ledang formed by dividing Muar district into two... the part to the left towards the upriver stays on as Muar, the opposite part becomes Ledang.
What you see here is a part of Muar river which has become stalled after the river changed its course creating a shortcut leaving a long curve forming a loop. The land between the loop and the shortcut becomes the inland island called Pulau Penarik and this jetty is located near the shortcut which becomes part of the present course of the Muar river.
