As a young girl growing up on Christmas Island, Sim Seet remembers her mother taking her to visit her grandmother's grave every April.
The Chinese cemetery, one of two on the external Australian territory, purposely overlooks the Indian Ocean.
Although she never met her maternal grandmother, Ms Seet, playboy a fourth-generation islander, still feels her spirit close by and this makes her teary.
"I haven't seen her before but I miss her," she tells AAP, standing beside the headstone of her family matriarch.
"I feel very close to her when I come here."
Yet this is a place for other emotions too.
The otherwise cheerful local, who has worked as a cleaner at the island's only hospital for more than 20 years, quickly shrugs off her sorrow to recall her antics as a visiting child.
