At the Pilgrams Rest graveyard, every single grave was laid facing in the same direction,
except for the famous Robber’s Grave which is laid perpendicular to the rest,
emblazoned simply with a cross and the large type words of Robbers Grave.
It is as the name suggests the grave of a robber who was shot stealing a tent from one of the miners.
