Sleeping place
Ballarat Old General Cemetery的点评
点评：The cemetery began operations in 1847. Records show that burials took place from 1848 in the vicinity of the old cemetery, however the first official burial of the trust was dated May 20, 1856.
The site covers seven hectares and, situated in the centre, stands the original rotunda built in 1893. This was used as a meeting place prior to burial services, and has been restored to its original splendour over the years.
There are formal gates at the front and a parking area exists, although it's not formalised. A rose memorial garden exists just inside those formal gates. There is also a sign nearby that mentions an ANZAC heritage walk.
I noticed that many headstones had the words 'just sleeping'... and isn't that a lovely thought - eternal sleep. For instance Annie Ross fell asleep in November of 1945, and John Griffiths who fell asleep in May 1906.And a tribute is offered to John from the children of Illabarook School.
A lovely headstone exists for Henry Fern who died in 1908 and his wife, Virtue died in 1920.
Algie Blight lost his life in the Sunshine Railway Disaster on the 21st April in 1908... he was only 22 years old. The Sunshine rail disaster occurred on 20 April 1908 at the junction at Sunshine railway station when a Melbourne-bound train from Bendigo collided with the rear of a train from Ballarat. 44 people were killed and over 400 injured, almost all of them from the Ballarat train, as the Bendigo train was cushioned by its two locomotives.
There is also a Eureka Diggers Memorial worth going to look at. The monument's plaque says, "This monument and the enclosing fence were erected Anno Domini MDCCCLXXIX by the Government of Victoria at the request of the citizens of Ballarat.
The light was fading and the headstones became harder for me to read... it was a lovely evening to wander around but with the uneven areas of ground, probably not the safest without a torch. This cemetery is well worth visiting.

翻译：该公墓于 1847 年开始运营。记录显示，自 1848 年起，旧公墓附近就开始埋葬，但该信托基金的第一次正式埋葬日期为 1856 年 5 月 20 日。
该遗址占地 7 公顷，中心矗立着建于 1893 年的原始圆形大厅。这里曾被用作埋葬前的聚会场所，多年来已恢复到原来的辉煌。
前面有正式的大门，并且有一个停车场，尽管它不是正式的。玫瑰纪念花园就位于那些正式的大门内。附近还有一个标志，上面提到了澳新军团遗产步道。
我注意到许多墓碑上都写着“只是睡觉”……这不是一个可爱的想法吗——永恒的睡眠。例如安妮·罗斯于1945年11月入睡，约翰·格里菲思于1906年5月入睡。伊拉巴鲁克学校的孩子们向约翰致敬。
亨利·费恩 (Henry Fern) 于 1908 年去世，他的妻子美德 (Virtue) 于 1920 年去世，这里有一块可爱的墓碑。
1908年4月21日，阿尔吉·布莱特在阳光铁路灾难中丧生……年仅22岁。阳光铁路灾难于 1908 年 4 月 20 日发生在阳光火车站的路口，当时一列从本迪戈开往墨尔本的火车与一列从巴拉瑞特开往墨尔本的火车尾部相撞。由于本迪戈列车被两个机车缓冲，造成 44 人死亡、400 多人受伤，几乎全部来自巴拉瑞特列车。
还有一个尤里卡挖掘者纪念碑值得一看。纪念碑的牌匾上写着：“这座纪念碑和围墙是维多利亚政府应巴拉瑞特公民的要求建造的 Anno Domini MDCCCLXXIX。
光线渐渐暗淡，墓碑对我来说变得越来越难以阅读……这是一个漫步的美好夜晚，但由于地面不平坦，如果没有手电筒，可能不是最安全的。这个墓地非常值得参观。
