A fellow sketcher and I enjoyed the afternoon at St Thomas's Rest Park in Crows Nest today. This was the first cemetery on the north shore of Sydney. There are over 2000 children buried here due to poor sanitation and no antibiotics. I enjoyed seeing the gravestones that told a bit about the person, for example one was a yacht and boat builder who had an affectionate wife and children. it sounds like his 40 years on earth were good.
There were quite a few dog walkers and a family with a kite. It was a great place to sketch and generally enjoy the day.
