Blackball’s layered history, from gold rush beginnings to coal mining struggles, makes the quiet hillside cemetery feel like a keeper of many untold stories
It does look old. Or this part of it does. I wonder what how old some of the tombstones are
And so every graveyard has its own story to tell. Nice one.
i would like to have a look around there. i like old cemetries.

I always enjoyed looking around an old cemetery.
