  1. 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!

  3. 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.
