CHINESE CEREMONIAL BURNING TOWERS.
Beechworth Cemetery, Victoria.
The savage Buckland riots of 1857 drove many Chinese to the Beechworth goldfields. By 1860 when these towers were buily, over 5000 Chinese were mining gold here. During burials, paper tokens were burnt here, and small offerings of pork and wine made to sustain the departing spirit, accompanied bby the ashes of burning paper prayers. Exploding fire crackers scared devils away. The turbulent gold years have gone but mortal remains of 2000 Chinese lie peacefully here in multiple graves.
