Walter Lindrum's funerary monument.



Now this is a very cute gravestone ensemble, wouldn't you agree? It belongs to billiards champion Walter Lindrum who, to quote Don Chambers in "The Melbourne General Cemetery" (p.72) says Lindrum's "prowess with the cue once overawed competitors around the globe. So dominant was Lindrum in the international world of billiards, that the rules of the game were amended to give his opponents a sporting chance." This tombstone reminds me of the African (I can't remember right now what part of Africa) wooden coffins, brightly coloured and made in the shape of one's trade, or favourite thing ie/ a fish, a shoe, a Mercedes Benz.
