Geocache Description:

You attempt the cache by hiking or by geomobile using Jalan Bukit Ambuk . You would see the start of an old powerline.    

Bukit Ambok, a hill near Tutong Town. Ambok, as all Bruneians know, is the Brunei Malay word for monkey. Presumably, Bukit Ambok can be translated as Monkey Hill. Most people would guess that there used to be lots of amboks or monkeys there for that hill to be named so.

However according to Tutong speakers, this is not the case. They hold that Bukit Ambok is named after a fruit. Ambug is an old Tutong word for buah mata kucing — mata kucing or cats' eyes is a type of longan-like fruit but smaller. On this hill, there used to be many ambug trees — so the hill was called Bukit Ambug. Over time, people changed the name from Bukit Ambug to Bukit Ambok.

Small note on cache maintenance:
There is a local cache guardian who will assist.
