Well me wife is overdue on our bub so decided to go for a drive and walk around a old historic to see if we can get things moving. Here are the pics, as you can see the area is pretty well preserved for almost 150yrs and the earthworks are almost intact. The place is covered inn Marked and Unmarked graves and is a historic site so cant metal detect!! Bugger!! :'(

Any way a good piece of history and always nice to get some research under the belt. Amazing place to walk around, Some of those earth works are atleast 8 -10ft deep. :o

Anyway Enjoy ;D

Those are great pics, Sasnz. Even thought they aren't from my country, my heart goes out to those guys there who died doing what they were asked to do. I've never really done much travellin, and so don't know a whole lot about the world. Whatever do you mean your wife's overdue on y'alls 'bub'? And congratulations or condolocences from us to her, however the case may be.
 

Love the history and I can sure think of worse places to "lie in rest." Sweet pics.
