These amazing Flame trees spilling over the hedge make a colourful natural border at The Fremantle Cemetery. This cemetery was established in 1899 and is home to some very well known Australians including Bush Ranger Moondyne Joe, engineer C.Y. O'Connor who created Fremantle Harbour.. Bon Scott the frontman for the still hugely popular rock band AC/DC was laid to rest here in 1980, his grave like that of Jim Morrison in Pere Lachaise draws many fans from all over the world and is now heritage listed, and then more recently, Heath Ledger was cremated here. The flame trees were such a burst of colour on what was a very grey, cold day.
Not only is the tree wonderful, but the cemetery is also VERY beautiful with the large angel monuments. Just really nice!

Cemeteries in some parts of the world are tourist attractions. This one might be.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place!
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see a tree bursting with color in the middle of your winter.
ReplyDeleteCemeteries can be a moving experience to visit. Julie and I will often stop to photograph monuments in cemeteries when we travel. The Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires gets our vote as the most spectacular. By far.
Depuis la mort de Bon Scott, AC/DC n'est plus le meme groupe, c'etait un superbe chanteur de Hard. Bel arbre tout rouge
ReplyDeleteThe flame trees create a beautiful backdrop and like Pere Lachaise at to the atmosphere.
ReplyDeletelooks magnificent when enlarged!

Looks like fall around here.
ReplyDeleteHello dear:
ReplyDeleteLovely trees and my 2nd thought was, boy are there a lot of dead folks in Perth. Quite a crowded cemetary.
Instead of interesting people. Pity they are no longer among us. It works for me this sad place. Thank you for your comments. Greetings!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's so amazing..
ReplyDeleteI don't mind having that beautiful one on the backyard...
Those trees are gorgeous, we saw Jim Morrison's grave several times and there was a steady flow of fans of every age.
ReplyDeleteWhat a contrast to the white stone. Fantastic!
