Thank you Terry, Will and Sue..appreciate the comments.

That snipped of poetry Terry reminds me of that one I wrote about graves found in the outback which I called Brush off the Dust. Sparked by a childs grave found alone in a paddock out near Waroo. One of the properties we looked at buying at Luna Road Oman ama had its own private cemetery attached to it..Glenview cemetery only available I believe to original descendants from those who owned Glenview Station...don't know if we had bought it if we would have been able to be laid to rest there but it was a beautiful spot though very overgrown. I had big plans to put the lambs in there every week to clear and crop it but since we never ended up buying the place that plan came to nought..

Cheers

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

That sounds an interesting story Maureen, owning your own cemetery I mean.
A lot of old properties had had their own little graveyards didn't they.
Perhaps you could put up that poem again, I can't remember reading it before.

I also have a poem along similar lines, it needs a bit of a polish as it was one of my
early attempts, I had forgotten about it until you mentioned yours just then.

Regards Terry
