Aerial Map!

I found a great aerial shot of Meeka, so here it is with a few points of interest marked on it - we're surrounded by vast open pit mines! The map faces south. I just found out that the old grave I discovered near the bung wall is actually the Old Meekatharra Cemetery, but no one seems to have any details about it - the graves date back to the 1890's as far as anyone knows. There seem to be about 8 graves, but people got buried all over the place; many headstones were just made of handmade planks & haven't survived the elements.

I think everyone's worked out that if you click on the blog photos they come up larger.
