The temple at the fork in the trail. The left-hand fork leads to the Sri Maha Mariamman temple at the end of the trail and the right hand trail leads to the site of Rajah Charles Brooke's bungalow named "Vellambrosa" at the coffee/tea plantation which was established in 1867. Around this area was where plantation workers from India were quartered until the demise of the plantations in 1912. Crops were planted in terraces for some hundreds of acres around this site.

From the Straits Times, 10 July 1906

"At Matang, in Sarawak there are Government plantations on which coffee is one of the crops grown. The other day, so the Sarawak Gazette reports, the Rajah walked around the coffee estate which is in distance nearly 8 miles, mostly on an easy gradient uphill, about 2 and a half hours walk. Forty acres of the coffee have to be abandoned as the weeding might pollute the water in the Reservoir. This portion was pointed out by Mr. Grove, and the Manager Mr. Gomes, received orders only to pick the Coffee as long as the trees bear fruit but not to weed on any account. While on this part of the Estate about 40 monkeys of all sizes and ages jumped from off the coffee tree and made off into the old jungle; one may imagine what destruction these creatures are able to commit on a coffee estate; several piculs would devoured daily by them. The number of coolies employed on the Estate is 125, half on contract, half free. One hundred more are required and this number can be supplied when the road is finished to Kuching, but as this will occupy some 4 to 6 months, some coolies should be procured from India as soon as possible to prevent the Estate from being injured by weeds. The report on the Estate by Mr. Gordon White suggests, no doubt, the best system of management [sic] specimens of the soil will be sent to the Analyst in Singapore by next mail to find out from him the best kind of manure to be used. 290 piculs of clean coffee were exported last year."
