It was nice. Many of my relatives are living there & my Grandpa's shop is still there after almost 60yrs! We still visit this place at least once a year. In fact, we went back for a wedding recently. Unfortunately, we don't have any photos of the original jetty. Didn't know about the cameraman story but how much damage can it cause? I remember we would sit @ the benches & enjoy the breeze. Yes, there were benches on the bridge & within the hut. I think the local govt won't be bothered with it anymore. You know Malaysia la... besides, the sea has moved back few kms now & I think in 20yrs time, the port might just be closed for good.

My uncle does have an aerial photo of the entire town that covers the beach from either pre WWII or the 60s.

Those birds are BIG. I think the wingspan is almost 2 metres across & Parit Jawa was featured in the papers before about these migratory birds.

I still can see the broken structure of the hut (on the right platform )on the photo taken in 2006.

Thanks edarkflame, this is one place that I will visit often for wkend relaxation.
This place is also famous for Otak... I bought some from a otak factory near by.

I dig out my 2006 photos archive and saw some photos of broken jetty and the famous Lesser Adjutant.
Thought this might interests those that missed their childhood hometown at Parit Jawa and also for those that take interests in the development of this Tranquil fishing village.

A great place for a weekend relaxation.
Here is one pix I took during the night...a serene quiet fishing village in the night with cloud trial.

Cheers

Thanks Jsim for comment and info about the competition.
I’m not the one that carries those expensive lenses for hunting those migratory birds.

Muar is a great place for feasting too.. I like the people and the place and would surely look forward to visit this place for relaxation again.
Thanks for your comment on my website too.
