In cemeteries throughout Australia, gravestones hint at our history – tales of early settlement, mystery, tragedy, health epidemics, unsolved murders, love lost and sacrifice. The 'Grave Tales' series reveals more than the headstone can ever tell. Written by journalists Helen Goltz and Chris Adams, these stories feature people who willingly or unwillingly were participants in events that made headlines. The series offers individual short stories of heroes, victims, trail blazers and patriots, encapsulating the journeys that lead to their resting places.
