    I was in a Trivial Pursuit competition tonight and one of the questions was "which is the biggest cemetery in Australia?" Rookwood was of course the correct answer.

    Perfect timing!

      I can't remember if I've stated that in one of more posts but thanks for that reminder that Rookwood is the biggest cemetery in Australia.

    impressive! i haven't seen this kind of vault/mausoleum here. most of the mausoleums here are designed with concrete and grille to let air circulate i guess.
