ROTTNEST ISLAND CEMETERY
Western Australia
In the summer of 2007 I visited
Perth, Western Australia, with my wife and two sons, as part of a three week holiday. During the trip we spent two days on
Rottnest Island, just an hour or so away from Freemantle, and whilst there I came across the most amazing wee cemetery, which was
just begging to be photographed!
Thirteen people are believed
to have been buried in the cemetery, though the names of only seven are known:
Luke ANKERMAN Drowned 19th
