Melbourne General Cemetery
Melbourne has been burying its dead in this cemetery since 1852; it’s the final resting place of three Australian prime ministers and the ill-fated explorers Burke and Wills. Close to a million other people are interred here, mostly along sectarian lines. Dig up the dirt on the city’s history on a White Hat tour on Wednesday and Sunday at 1pm. For spook-seekers, two-hour guided night tours are led by the National Trust of Victoria twice a year, full-moon tours in April and a Halloween outing on October 31. Bookings are essential.
