For Aussie History & Eureka Stockade buffs!

Whilst in Ballarat yesterday doing the 'Picnic' thing (the kids are on school holidays) we also called into the Historic 'Ballarat Cemetary'.

I thought some of you may like to see the graves etc of a part of Australias History including the graves and monuments of the Diggers and Troopers that fought and died in the Eureka Rebellion.

Check the dates on the Headstones. Ballarat cemetary is full of History and has an information centre and free booklets.
