He'll be resting in peace. Or in the clouds. On top of some celestial chimney stack, the mighty governor needs taking down. Lookin down on the world wherever. Now an international star. Dropping every mans jaw everywhere around the world. Which he would never of thought of. With his undeniable genius of construction, engineering. And his/the art of dismantlement. Bless him. Bless you! Takecare.

      Without sounding melodramatic in my country Ireland the issues that have impacted most people's lives in some way or other. Most people are pinning all their ills on the effect's directly and indirectly on Covid19. This pandemic knocked the shit out of us all and messed up a way of life that we were all in tune with. At a micro level in tight knit communities the rug was pulled out from under our feet. A way of life was dismantled broken up. Little to no acknowledgement 7 whether the relevant authorities, EX DCC, HSE, SW, essential services. Hardest hit as usual OAPs and the sick. The complete closing of these service during the pandemic and the partial reopening has a huge negative impact on already sparse services. Community spirit is broken for so many, the silent majority can no longer carry the burden without help from a government that's awash with money and no social plan of cohesion building for the future. The money they have in trust won't last long if they go on a bike shead blitz around the country, one for everyone in the audience, I mean country. 😂. The first time in all our history we can be completely in control of our own destiny. I'm no economist or politically minded or interested in normally, but even I can see that a fair deal will mot be had by the majority. The the majority will be placated with meaningless social welfare rises that won't rise above inflation. It's a wonder social welfare are not giving recipients some butter vouchers and turf dockets on top of their entitlements. The future, the end ✌️

    There's an Anglican church in the southeast corner of the CBD here (Adelaide) called St John's in the Wilderness because when it was built in 1841 it really was out in the sticks. I think it was the second Anglican church to be built in Adelaide but like the first it never had a churchyard. ⛪

    Theres a film in the documentary on Fred from the late 70s and early 80s where he stands in the cemetery, not far from where hes buried , talking about life and death. Its effectively at the back of his house. Theres also a fella in the old part, the bit that floods quite often towards the river and near the nuns plot,called Julius Ceasar. Lucky to have it on my doorstep.

    Thanks for the video. I often wonder what will eventually happen to all these late 1800s grave yards and cemetery's of peoples long forgotten ancestors who are left to disappear in the weeds, grass and brambles, It seems no one wants the responsibility of ownership and upkeep of these neglected places, by using excuse's to turn them into nature sites, bee and butterfly gardens and avoiding the question of how long can it go on.

    • @Graveyard_explorers

      Same, we try where we can to clear up some of the weeds and waste on graves but when it’s this big and out of control it’s hard to do. You can easy allow nature to take over a cemetery without it being so overgrown.
