Rembau river at the Sungai Timun fishermen base

Continued from Pedas river near its estuary.


The journey then brought us to the fishermen base of a place called Sungai Timun.


Sungai is the Malay word for river. Thus the words Sungai Timun seemed to imply there is a river called Timun around here.


A casual look around shows this to be a recreational area.


The information reveals its historic and tourism value.


There is a sort of viewing gallery.


It sits beside a river.


Going for a closer look.


A check with Google Earth and some websites show this is actually the Rembau river. Perhaps there's indeed a river called Timun which flows into it but I can't see where.


A look downriver. Using Google Earth, I found that from here the Rembau river twists and turns for about 8.3 km before entering the Linggi river.


A look ahead.


A look upriver. The point where the Pedas river flows into this river is just 1 km away by water.
