Amid a sea of weather-bleached monuments, the excavated remains of Australia's oldest crematorium can be seen, and its quietest corner shelters the country's first dedicated military cemetery.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e From archives, and headstones, the author recovers histories that time and weather threaten to obliterate. \u003cem\u003eQuiet City\u003c\/em\u003e is a book for everyone who has ever wandered through an old graveyard and wished its stones could speak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 344\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.72 x 8.25 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 11, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49199679930520,"sku":"9781743053874","price":57.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/8830\/4024\/files\/QTRya3BycnZZTm1NMklES0pYWjhnUT09.webp?v=1780696469","url":"https:\/\/thepinkflamingobooks.myshopify.com\/products\/quiet-city-walking-in-west-terrace-cemetery-paperback","provider":"The Pink Flamingo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
