Natural splendour, real musics, wines, wordpower
In 2024 Father’s Day fell on a Sunday, and its afternoon was cloudy, but fine and mild.
Unsurprisingly, those factors made for a busy day at Perth’s largest cemetery.
By late afternoon, many Karrakatta gravestones were adorned with fresh floral (and other) tokens of remembrance.
Many Australian ravens were visible, “visiting” those gravestones.

Dappled winter sunshine is an ever-shifting delight at Karrakatta Cemetery – a place blessed by geography (Perth’s natural light is remarkably intense) and by the planting of so many different trees, of so many species.

Visitor numbers to Karrakatta Cemetery exceed one million per year.
Even if you have no funerals to attend, and none of your particular loved ones have been buried or cremated there, Western Australia’s largest cemetery is a richly rewarding destination.
This is most especially true on a non-gloomy winter’s day.

This kookaburra, perched on a grave cross, has something in common with most of the humans who have been buried in Perth’s largest cemetery over the past 123 years.
In 2022, most living WA humans do not know what it is; most of them, in fact, have a quite wrong view of kookaburras’ “place” in southwestern Australia.
