Lonely Graves
‘Somebody’s darling lies buried here’: so says the epitaph on the headstone of one of the two ‘Lonely Graves’ at Horseshoe Bend on the Clutha/Mata-au River. The story of the miner first buried here and the man who lies beside him has captured and inspired people’s imaginations embedding the tale in popular culture, giving the site national and international appeal.
