We signed up for a tour of the Springvale Botanical Cemetery expecting to see a few headstones, but it is a surprisingly beautiful place. It has, amongst other things, over 30,000 rose bushes. Some features, such as the children's cemetery, are very touching The war graves section is very well cared for. Each ethnic group has its own section. The Asian section is very well done, with an authentic Buddhist temple constructed -- without nails -- by craftsmen from China. Care has been taken to adhere to the principles of feng shui (wind and water) which Chinese people take very seriously. If you would like to see what the cemetery has to offer ring them and make a booking for a tour. It's gratis, and you also get a tasty lunch.
