Fun Fact #1 With a Twist

I’m starting a new segment to share amazing odds and ends we come across during our travels.

To start off,  Moree in outback NSW has a Christmas connection with a Twist.....

Charles Dickens’ youngest son is buried in the cemetry at Moree.  Edward Bulwer Lytton Dickens (13 March 1852 – 23 January 1902). He immigrated to Australia at the age of 16, and eventually entered politics, serving as a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 1889 to 1894. He died in poverty, childless, at the age of 49...Wikipedia.   It was an unmarked grave, until distant cousins from Sydney errected the obelisk.

It was a must see for me after an overnight stop in Moree.
