Not exactly a cemetery; - just a couple of graves in a bush reserve (that used to be a residence before being given to a local council.)
Did these animals belong to the house? Who Knows?

Well, that's a different cemetery to what we usually see!
I assume that inscriptions on the wooden crosses are few and far between, but for what period was it used (if you can tell)?

Noel, the ground looks like rust.
I am not surprised.

Relocated graves - Mornington Peninsula, Victoria
The original cemetery at the Quarantine Station at Portsea was in sandy ground too close to the beach... big storms, high tides, coastal erosion... you can guess the rest.
Some of the bodies were relocated before being washed out to sea.

We got to the cemetery accidentally (actually I suppose a lot do!!)
I was more interested in the countryside than the actual cemetery.

Chinese section of the Beechworth, Victoria cemetery.
(Large Chinese population during gold rush days.)
The burning towers were not for cremations, but for burning letters to the departed so the messages would rise through the air.

There is a very small cemetery on the Great Ocean Road, Victoria, near where the Loch Ard sank in 1878.
I have posted one of these before, but am repeating it to give a fuller picture;

From a little cemetery on the Great Ocean Road, Victoria.
When the Loch Ard was lost, there were only two survivors and two bodies washed up onto the beach.
This stone marks the grave of the two;
