And Some Found Graves by A.J. Thompson
And Some Found Graves. The 1895-96 goldfields' diary of New Zealand prospector John Aspinall, who was tragically killed by lightning. His lonely grave is at Hawks Nest, near Laverton, Western Australia.
A.J. Thompson, " I found John Aspinall's grave by chance in February 1980 while prospecting at Hawks Nest, about 15km west of Laverton in the Mt Margaret Goldfields of Western Australia. Johnny began his diary in 1895 as he left his native New Zealand, and his last entry was made in 1896, one day before his death, when he was struck by lightning. Ironically, his last entry mentioned that there were thunderstorms around."
