Grave Stalking on a cloudy afternoon
Well i am about to sneak out on my lunch hour to the infamous Rookwook Necropolis Cemetery...excellent!
...................... a 3 km drive and 400 litres of petrol later....
What an amazing place. The cemetery is so huge you feel like you have left Sydney completely except their is a faint skyline visible from some graves. Restful rather than spooky it is not a bad place to spend a lunch hour. That is, if you are not searching for a grave among thousands!
I really thought i would never find Freddy's special place. As i looked out over the 3rd Chinese section where he was supposed to be, at least half of the headstones were illegible and broken. ........But after some guilty stepping across neatly mounded grass i saw a vision in shiny marble, with a plaque and a photo!
