Rookwood has been operating since 1867, & is one of the largest cemeteries in Australia. It is managed by five separate demoninational Trusts & an independant Crematorium. The Anglican Trust, General Trust, Catholic Trust Board, Independent Trust, Jewish Trust & the Muslem Trust. Each Trust looks after a portion of the cemetery under its control. The Cemetery has 8 Chapels for indoor funeral services, 5 denominational Open Air Chapels for special ceremonies & three Florist Shops.
The earliest references to the district around what is now Rookwood Necropolis, occur in 1793 when the first land grants to free settlers in the New South Wales colony were made nearby. As a result of its association with the first free settlers, the district was given the name of Liberty Plains. In 1855 the railway between Sydney & Parramatta opened &, four years later, a station was opened at Haslem’s Creek (misspelt from Haslam). Once the site was chosen by the government for a cemetery, the settlement around Haslem’s Creek grew as people who worked in jobs connected with the cemetery moved nearby. These residents, however, didn’t like the name of their village being associated with the cemetery at Haslem’s Creek, & so lobbied politicians to change the name of the settlement to Rookwood. In 1879 they were successful but, unfortunately for them, the cemetery then became known as Rookwood Necropolis. Another new name was sought for the settlement & in 1913 it was named Lidcombe (adapted from the names of two mayors, Lidbury & Larcombe.
Before Rookwood Cemetery the Europeans who died in the first few years of the settlement at Sydney Cove were buried at Dawes Point (at what is now the southern end of the Harbour Bridge) & at land near what is now Erskine & Margaret Streets (near Wynyard Station). In 1792 the main burial ground for the colony was established on a site which is now occupied by the Sydney Town Hall & St Andrew’s Cathedral. By 1818 the cemetery on the Sydney Town Hall site was full, so governor Lachlan Macquarie established a new one near the brick-fields, known as the Sandhills or Devonshire Street cemetery. Rookwood covers 315 hectares of pleasant land 16 kilometres from Sydney, with over three quarters of a million graves
Rookwood was served by a rail spur from the main line from 1867 until 1948. Mortuary stations served each of the three sections of the necropolis, with a fourth at the main junction & a fifth on Regent Street adjacent to Sydney Central Station. This rail line was used to convey funeral parties to Rookwood until 1948 when the expanded use of processions by road made it obsolete. The stations were offered to the Joint Committee of Necropolis Trustees for the price of £1 but due to maintenance costs the offer was rejected & the platforms within the cemetery were demolished. Cemetery Station No. 1 at the head of the rail spur was sold to Reverend Buckle for £100 in 1951 & was moved to Canberra in 1957 to become the All Saints Church, Canberra.

Grand 16th-century country house in an ancient deer park on the banks of the River Avon, 6 km east of Stratford-upon-Avon and 9 km south of Warwick, Warwickshire, England. It has been administered by the National Trust since 1946 and is open to the public.
The Lucy family, who came to England with William the Conqueror, has owned the land since 1247. Charlecote Park was built in 1558 by Sir Thomas Lucy, and Queen Elizabeth I stayed in the room that is now the drawing room. Although the general outline of the Elizabethan house remains, nowadays it is in fact mostly Victorian. Successive generations of the Lucy family had modified Charlecote Park over the centuries, but in 1823, George Hammond Lucy inherited the house and set about recreating the house in its original style.
In the middle of the 19th century the Fairfax Baronets inherited the property when the male line of the Lucy family failed. The baronets changed their family name to Lucy to reflect the traditions of Charlecote.
The Great Hall has a barrel-vaulted ceiling made of plaster painted to look like timber and is a fine setting for the splendid collection of family portraits. Other rooms have richly coloured wallpaper, decorated plaster ceilings and wood panelling. There are magnificent pieces of furniture and fine works of art, including a contemporary painting of Queen Elizabeth I. The original two-storey Elizabethan gateway that guards the approach to the house remains unaltered.

Charlecote Park covers 185 acres (75 hectares), backing on to the Avon. Apocryphal stories recount that William Shakespeare poached deer in the park. It was landscaped by Capability Brown circa 1760.

The Princess Royal officially opens Wales First World War Centenary Wood, Coed Ffos Las
It’s been four years in the making, with many hundreds of local people including children helping to plant the trees, and Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal has now formally opened Coed Ffos Las, Wales’ First World War Centenary Wood, in the Gwendraeth Valley in Carmarthenshire. As the Woodland Trust’s (Coed Cadw’s) most recently planted wood in Wales, it's part of the The First World War Centenary Woods project which is helping to plant millions of native trees to commemorate the First World War.
The Princess Royal was joined by around 40 invited guests on 2 July, who saw demonstrations highlighting the hugely important role that woods and trees played in the First World War. There was horse ploughing, greenwood working and a working blacksmith. The 157 Royal Logistics Corp were also present, a company created as a result of the First World War, who have helped plant the trees at Coed Ffos Las and who are proud to have The Princess Royal as their Patron.
Her Royal Highness then formally unveiled a plaque displaying the name of the life-sized War Horse Sculpture which forms a special Commemorative Feature of the site. Created out of Corten steel by the designer Steve Tomlinson, the statue was named Yr Arwr / Hero, after the poem which won Hedd Wyn the Chair at the 1917 National Eisteddfod. The name was chosen by Jane Hutt, formerly Leader of the House at the National Assembly for Wales, from ideas suggested in a public competition for names organised last summer in which nearly one hundred people took part.
Natalie Buttriss, Director of Wales for the Woodland Trust (Coed Cadw) said: “I’m delighted to be able to welcome The Princess Royal to Coed Ffos Las. Working with the local community and with the support of our members and sponsors we have created a beautiful, poignant new woodland which incorporates 90,000 native trees. There is also an orchard, bee hives, a pond, an area of woodland which can be coppiced, open areas for enjoying the panoramic views, as well as the amazing war horse sculpture as a commemorative feature.
“Coed Ffos Las is a unique woodland in Wales which we are using to tell the story of wood, woodland, workers and soldiers in the First World War. A huge percentage of Wales’ ancient woodland was felled for a wide range of uses in the Great War. Ammunition cases, vehicle bodies, gun carriages, matches, pit props, even hazel hurdles were used to build the walls of trenches. Wales is, in many ways, still feeling the environmental impact of a war that wreaked havoc on soldiers’ and communities’ lives.”
“The creation of the Coed Ffos Las has cost around £1.2m in total. The Woodland Trust is hugely grateful to everyone who supported our fundraising appeal for the site, to our lead partner in the project, Sainsbury’s, to Welsh Government’s Plant! initiative and the players of the National Lottery, through the Heritage Lottery Fund, all of which have generously supported different aspects of the project.”
The First World War Centenary Woods project is supported by the Trust’s lead partner Sainsbury's, helping to plant millions of native trees to commemorate the First World War. Mike Coupe, the company’s CEO, said: “We’re pleased to support such a fitting memorial to those affected by the First World War. It’s important to our customers and colleagues, and commemorative to the colleagues who fell during World War One.
Y Dywysoges Frenhinol yn agor Coed Ffos Las, Coedwig Canmlwyddiant y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf yng Nghymru, heddiw
Mae hi wedi cymryd pedair blynedd o waith caled. Mae cannoedd lawer o bobl leol gan gynnwys plant wedi plannu'r coed. Yn awr mae ei Huchelder Brenhinol, y Dywysoges Frenhinol wedi agor Coed Ffos Las yn ffurfiol. Dyma Goedwig Canmlwyddiant y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf yng Nghymru, yng Nghwm Gwendraeth yn Sir Gaerfyrddin. Hon yw’r goedwig fwyaf newydd y mae Coed Cadw (Woodland Trust) wedi ei phlannu yng Nghymru mae’n rhan o brosiect Coed Canmlwyddiant y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf sydd â’i fryd ar blannu miliynnau o goed brodorol i goffau’r Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf.
Fe ymunodd oddeutu 40 o westeion â’r Dywysoges Frenhinol ar 2 Gorffennaf. Fe welson nhw arddangosfeydd oedd wedi cael eu trefnu i amlygu rôl hollbwysig coetir a choed yn y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf. Fe fu ceffylau gwedd yn aredig y tir, fe fu bobl yn gwneud gwaith coed gwyrdd ac fe fu gof yn gweithio. Roedd y 157 Royal Logistics Corp yn bresennol hefyd. Cwmni yw hwn a grëwyd o ganlyniad i'r Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf. Maen nhw wedi helpu plannu'r coed yng Nghoed Ffos Las ac maen nhw’n falch fod y Dywysoges Frenhinol noddwr iddyn nhw.
Wedyn, fe wnaeth ei Huchelder Frenhinol ddatgluddio plac sy’n dwyn enw'r cerflun ceffyl rhyfel, sy'n ffurfio nodwedd goffaol ar y safle. Wedi'i greu o ddur Corten gan y dylunydd Steve Tomlinson, fe gafodd y cerflun ei fedyddio Yr Arwr / Hero, ar ôl y gerdd a enillodd y Gadair i Hedd Wyn yn Eisteddfod Genedlaethol 1917. Dewiswyd yr enw gan Jane Hutt, a oedd gynt yn Arweinydd y Tŷ yng Nghynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru, o syniadau a awgrymwyd mewn cystadleuaeth gyhoeddus a drefnwyd yr haf diwethaf, y cymerodd bron i gant o bobl ran ynddi hi.
Dywedodd Natalie Buttriss, Cyfarwyddwr Cymru Coed Cadw: "Rwy'n falch iawn i groesawu'r Dywysoges Frenhinol i Goed Ffos Las. Gan weithio gyda'r gymuned leol a chyda chefnogaeth ein haelodau a'n noddwyr, rydym wedi creu coetir newydd sy’n hardd ac yn ingol, sy'n cynnwys 90,000 o goed brodorol. Mae yna berllan hefyd, cychod gwenyn, pwll dwr, ardal o goetir y gellir ei brysgoedio, mannau agored i fwynhau'r golygfeydd panoramig yn ogystal â'r cerflun ceffyl rhyfel fel nodwedd goffaol.
"Coedwig unigryw yng Nghymru yw Coed Ffos Las. Rydym yn ei defnyddio i adrodd stori coed, coetir, gweithwyr a milwyr yn y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf. Torrwyd canran enfawr o goetir hynafol Cymru ar gyfer ystod eang o ddefnyddiau yn y Rhyfel Mawr. Defnyddiwyd coed i wneud bocsys ar gyfer bwledi, cyrff cerbydau, cerbydau gwn, matsys, pyst pyllau a hyd yn oed clwydi cyll i adeiladu waliau'r ffosydd. Mae Cymru, mewn sawl ffordd, yn dal i deimlo effaith amgylcheddol y rhyfel, a gododd aflonyddwch ar fywydau milwyr a chymunedau."
"Fe gostiodd tua £1.2m i greu Coed Ffos Las. Mae Coed Cadw’n hynod ddiolchgar i bawb a gefnogodd ein hapêl codi arian ar gyfer y safle, i'n prif bartner yn y prosiect Sainsbury's, i brosiect Plant! gan Lywodraeth Cymru, a chwaraewyr y Loteri Genedlaethol, trwy Gronfa Dreftadaeth y Loteri. Mae pob un ohonynt wedi cefnogi gwahanol agweddau o'r prosiect, a hynny’n hael."

There's a long story behind this photo. When you look at it you think, "awe a little boy and his horse!" but it took so long to get to where we are now.
Storm, the mustang, arrived at Pasture Pals Equine Rescue on November 23, 2014. He was flea bitten and lived his whole 10 years of life in a 10x10 stall, never turned out, never broke, never trained. When he was brought to the rescue, he was even afraid of stepping out of the trailer on to dirt. He was scared of everything, and still to this day won't let people touch him without being coaxed in to it. Even then, he's very temperamental about where we touch him, and for how long we touch him.
The Ninjababy told me today "I wanna go say hi to the white horsey!" I said "Ok! Good luck with that!" and he climbed up on to the rails of the round pen. I look over and watch this wild stallion walk up to my 4 year old and start smelling him. I was so nervous about this because he is so skiddish of people, and was thinking of a way to tell my husband why our son no longer had a face. Suddenly, the horse was asking him to touch him. The ninjababy rubbed his face, his back, his backside, over and over again.
Please visit and like Pasture Pals Equine Rescue's Facebook Page for more information on him or any of the other horses, miniature horses and donkeys!
