Melbourne General Cemetery

Melbourne has been burying its dead here since 1852. It's worth a stroll to see the final resting place of three Australian prime ministers, the memorial of ill-fated explorers Burke and Wills, Walter Lindrum's billiard-table tombstone, and a shrine to Elvis erected by fans. Check the website for guided day and night tours, including on Halloween.
