    Many graves are still in good condition, despite being closed to burials since 1973. Came across rebuilt & eye-catching ones, & some with colourful tiles like this

    Expect mosquitoes. The taller grasses hide uneven grounds & puddles, plus objects like bricks and stones; step carefully/gingerly if u intend to trek through the terrain

    Shortcut to Mt Pleasant Rd. Heading clockwise along the road through Blk/Hill 3, find this fork on ur left (Div 6). Take the right route and u will arrive at Jln Mashhor

    If u r driving, take note that some roads are one-way. They tend to be narrow and u will not be able to stop on one side to let another vehicle pass

    Alternative access via Lornie Highway (north-bound). Keep left and slow down after passing the PIE slip road. Immediate access to hills/blocks 2 & 5

    Hill and hence cemetery was named after George Henry Brown, a ship owner, trader and broker in the 1870s. His residence was at nearby Mt Pleasant. Source: Infopedia

    Tomb trail. Between Hills 1 & 3, you get to go on a self-guided walk to 25 marked graves and their uniqueness & significance 👍🏼

    Some paths, while not paved, are wide enough for a standard 4-wheeled vehicle to pass. Some of them lead to dead ends though 😬

    Bird-watching. There are 94 resident birds recorded here! Many of them busily chirp throughout the day!

    Vehicular parking. There are no designated parking lots but most visitors park at Blk/Hill 1, shortly after passing the main gates

    All that greenery undisturbed is bound to be conducive for animals to find shelter

    Possibly the clearest map displaying the locations of blocks (hills) of the Bt Brown Documentation project. Found the sign at Block 4

    It is the last Qing Ming for some families over here. Public Exhumation for those places that the Road/Bridge will be built.
