Waverley Cemetery

I mentioned in the previous post that we had to detour through a cemetery, and I thought this one deserved its own post to explain (and to show some really cool pictures). This cemetery is along the coast between Clovelly Bay and Nelson Bay, and looks out over the ocean. At first it was kind of creepy walking through the cemetery to get back on the walking path. However, after looking at the incredible detail on these headstones and mausoleums, we really began to appreciate the beauty in a cemetery that has been there for over 100 years. There are thousands of tombs in Waverley, and all are above ground like New Orleans. I will try to post some video, as the pictures we took do not begin to do it justice.


The detail in these headstones and statues was incredible.

I thought these next two pictures were really cool. The sky was overcast and steely looking grey, with just a little bit of blue sky peeking in behind the clouds. I thought they might turn out pretty good with a beautiful statue.
