Melbourne Revealed – Melbourne General Cemetery

On By Andy RoamsIn travel, Vlog2 Comments

I meet up with the indefatigable Ivan Nevill and we head to the Melbourne General Cemetery to give it a little bit of an exploration. We check out the graves of some former Australian Prime Ministers and chat a bit about them. We also see the monument to explorers Burke and Wills, the Holocaust memorial, the grave of Peter Lalor, the grave of Walter Lindrum and ask 'What is a memorial to Elvis doing at Melbourne Cemetery?' So join us as we present Melbourne'General Cemetery, a place with its own sadness, but also a beauty too. And what will the earliest grave that we find be?

City Rumble – Tokyo Versus Tallinn

In the other corner, weighing far less but yet packing quite a punch, a medieval city in the Baltics, capital of Estonia, the charming Tallinn. Yep – today’s City Rumble match up is between two very different places, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be a walk over.
