Rookwood Cemetery Open Day

One of the world's largest graveyards was having an "Open Day" to celebrate its 150th birthday.
It was free, so we went along, not knowing what to expect. It turned out to be great fun.
If you are going to be dead and buried, this would be as good a place as any. I can hardly wait.
