Our first trip was in 1999 when we visited Brisbane and the Gold Coast. In 2005 we visited Perth. In 2009 we had a road trip in a caravan from Brisbane to Port Campbell and back. And in 2013, we had a family caravan holiday road trip from Sydney to Melbourne.<br /><br />For the next two weeks we will venture in a road trip around Tasmania, Australia covering most of the major towns and visiting attractions along the way. Since Tasmania is a small and compact island, our journeys will be covering short distances as the roads are small and winding. We opted driving a compact SUV for this Tasmanian road trip.<br /><br />We will be celebrating our 44th Anniversary in Tasmania. It is the end of winter. The weather is perfect for our road trip!<br /><br />My Travel Blog: <a href="http://munmus.blogspot.com">munmus.blogspot.com</a><br /><br />01 Tasmania: <a href="https://munmus.blogspot.com/2023/07/01-tasmanian-trip-kl-sydney.html?m=0">KL - Sydney</a><br />02 Tasmania: <a href="https://munmus.blogspot.com/2023/07/02-tasmania-trip-sydney-hobart.html?m=0">Sydney - Hobart</a><br />03 Tasmania: <a href="https://munmus.blogspot.com/2023/08/03-tasmania-trip-hobart-port-arthur.html?m=0">Hobart - Port Arthur</a><br />04 Tasmania: <a href="https://munmus.blogspot.com/2023/08/04-tasmania-trip-eaglehawk-neck-st.html?m=0">Eaglehawk Neck - St Helens</a><br />05 Tasmania: <a href="https://munmus.blogspot.com/2023/08/05-tasmania-trip-st-helens-launceston.html?m=0">St Helens - Launceston</a><br />06 Tasmania: <a href="https://munmus.blogspot.com/2023/08/06-tasmania-trip-launceston-hobart.html?m=0">Launceston - Hobart</a><br />07 Tasmania: <a href="https://munmus.blogspot.com/2023/08/07-tasmania-trip-hobart-free-easy.html?m=0">Hobart Free & Easy</a><br />08 Tasmania: <a href="https://munmus.blogspot.com/2023/08/08-tasmania-trip-hobart-strahan.html?m=0">Hobart - Strahan</a><br />09 Tasmania: <a href="https://munmus.blogspot.com/2023/08/09-tasmania-trip-strahan-stanley.html?m=0">Strahan - Stanley</a><br />10 Tasmania: <a href="https://munmus.blogspot.com/2023/08/10-tasmania-trip-stanley-devonport.html?m=0">Stanley - Devonport</a><br />11 Tasmania: <a href="https://munmus.blogspot.com/2023/07/11-tasmania-devonport-hobart.html?m=0">Devonport - Hobart</a><br />12 Tasmania: <a href="https://munmus.blogspot.com/2023/08/11-tasmania-hobart-free-easy.html?m=0">Hobart Free & Easy</a><br />13 Tasmania: <a href="https://munmus.blogspot.com/2023/09/13-tasmania-hobart-kl.html?m=0">Hobart - Melbourne</a><br />14 Tasmania: <a href="https://munmus.blogspot.com/2023/09/14-tasmania-melbourne-kl.html?m=0">Melbourne - KL</a><br /><div><br /></div><div>Fb Photo Album: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.6571018699655434&type=3">2023 Tasmanian Wilderness</a></div>Nong (Maimon Mohd Top)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02445177919674380107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5929731279795359492.post-16671378185610514772023-08-12T12:29:00.001+08:002023-08-13T13:20:12.203+08:00I lost a dear friend today...<div style="text-align: center;"><i>"Friendships formed in life are broken in death.

We cancelled our plan to take care of our grandchildren, Hana and Amir, as their parents were in Italy during that same period. <br /><br />We spent the Raya Haji at our Bidara House and joined the Ibadah Qurban gotong-royong program at Masjid At-Taiyibbin. To foster the spirit of cooperation, the Muslim residents, young and old, came together to help the processing of sembelihan of nine bulls and a few goats and packing of qurban meat for distribution. <br /><br />The Qurban meat was divided into three equal portions, one-third was for the one who performed the qurban, one-third was for the residents and friends, and the final third was to be donated to those in need. The gotong royong ended by Zohor and there was a jamuan tengahari after Zohor prayers.

Among those destroyed by the Portuguese was the first mosque built, which is said to be located opposite the current site of Stadhuys.<div> <br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="3500" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzCQ9nJlT6ra8tLoKtyNthh6M4o3bD96OqwdF6vqShI1lvr_TEZo0EYrlOKpZ3_78bHPfCTc1uBKc2EE3yGk0JIh7kTAvY4rprFjmqOQ5C81SM2kJLqmKFxDavkHy19k7TaaV8eihnAFbjP34oiugUOVmYX_5IHNwrfEcIvRqqeLAQmcGIVr_YiBr0VxBx/w400-h229/4.jpg" style="color: #0000ee; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;" width="400" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">(The historical graveyards)</td></tr></tbody></table><div><br />The Dutch government has assigned Kapitan to lead the local people in the construction of their place of worship.

A mosque was constructed around 1900, its tower in 1905. The founder, Tuan Haji Ahmad bin Abd Rauf was a famous scholar and the first Mufti of Melaka during the British era. When the First Penghulu was appointed during the British colonial period, together with the mosque officials, they had brought many changes to Kampung Semabok and made Masjid Semabok even more prestigious and many people are attracted to reside in area. This is proven by rows of old graves with wood and red granite stones around the mosque that reach hundreds of years. With this discovery, it was deduced that there was a mosque around the area dated in the 17th and 18th centuries. According to the old folks, the current site of the Masjid Semabok is also the site of the original mosque.<div> <br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaGYIw-r3zNJapuZWROHxFtEeOzSFfv0f6juKvSL41k9asiKMt41pZOMK8R902US6gYpJka4HEHmF-EybzhZl50N_3iKRFP2sINpRiEqRv4SxQKTUc8J-N3j0yGSJ95q0n4--cWqsU2xWdp59l66aiHQGDC5BOPAmdRhvijdRNt4ymtKWGCshI-rbfgaga/s3000/1.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2500" data-original-width="3000" height="334" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaGYIw-r3zNJapuZWROHxFtEeOzSFfv0f6juKvSL41k9asiKMt41pZOMK8R902US6gYpJka4HEHmF-EybzhZl50N_3iKRFP2sINpRiEqRv4SxQKTUc8J-N3j0yGSJ95q0n4--cWqsU2xWdp59l66aiHQGDC5BOPAmdRhvijdRNt4ymtKWGCshI-rbfgaga/w400-h334/1.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">(The mosque is sharing the compound with a school)</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Since 1905, the Masjid Semabok used building materials from shingle roof stones.

The outside of the mosque has a spacious verandah without windows similar to the Melaka traditional Malay houses.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGAH77c8_GjtIsiLIm9hkqQ1WSTl-PGACXWxwRPo-qZwRcr9mvs_hONZa0yO5aIUUP5Lb40lIQ2AA4No4UO9cQOnq4tAo9Xio1EiZqDRT_baLbj095f-Phanq7V4tfMFh2r0X3spYiySGn0Atf_TP48fx2PDxtoq6J6VcYTEBvSwo8X3Hw-97jURbzLJPX/s3500/4.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="3500" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGAH77c8_GjtIsiLIm9hkqQ1WSTl-PGACXWxwRPo-qZwRcr9mvs_hONZa0yO5aIUUP5Lb40lIQ2AA4No4UO9cQOnq4tAo9Xio1EiZqDRT_baLbj095f-Phanq7V4tfMFh2r0X3spYiySGn0Atf_TP48fx2PDxtoq6J6VcYTEBvSwo8X3Hw-97jURbzLJPX/w400-h229/4.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">(A beautiful green and white minaret)</td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div>Masjid Semabok has a large ablution pool. The shape of this pool is similar to that of Masjid Kampung Hulu. The congregation of the mosque use the water from this well to take ablution and also to bathe especially during dry season. While other mosques in the nearby villages still use wood and zinc, Masjid Semabok has taken the lead to use stone, cement and concrete for its construction.<br /><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4XAO_KRnjei3Y_rt50oJM4pF8w7Lub9aV8keMJ4kiwdDpgEysvzzZHw9rzIr3Itu-iwmGCDb1jmJtFqJl8UCZDxDnTseXIr5l5Fa41PNjxrDrdVeGt0Nu5MJ8RnQnOF0iULYAv1qGjNdyMX3nZz936_PsKRJFnJyQkG0sKEzHZfcijHj6vd3smQPa_VhT/s3500/5.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="3500" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4XAO_KRnjei3Y_rt50oJM4pF8w7Lub9aV8keMJ4kiwdDpgEysvzzZHw9rzIr3Itu-iwmGCDb1jmJtFqJl8UCZDxDnTseXIr5l5Fa41PNjxrDrdVeGt0Nu5MJ8RnQnOF0iULYAv1qGjNdyMX3nZz936_PsKRJFnJyQkG0sKEzHZfcijHj6vd3smQPa_VhT/w400-h229/5.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">(The history in phases)</td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div>The mosque was renovated in the 1970s through the Melaka State Government's allocation and was inaugurated by Y.B.
