The Piano Tuners Grave.

Just off the Sapphhire & Rubyvale Road, there is this historial grave site. The story is that just after he was buried in the cemetery at Sapphire there was a big flood. The coffin was washed away, and found a few miles away. This is the place that the grave is now.
The Headstone reads;
In memory of
F.W. Schlieffen
The Piano Tuner
Born Germany
Drowned in May Creek 13.3.1906
RIP
Donated by Clarry & Joyce Otto.
Today was the last day of the Gemfest, no fossicking today. PJ with with K to help take down all the 'shop' for his brother and wife, who had been selling their sapphires & jewellery, at Gemfest.
