The Lonely Graves, "Someones Darling"

The Lonely Graves, located at the Horseshoe Bend Diggings on the banks of the Clutha River south of Roxburgh, consist of the graves of 'Somebody's Darling'; and William Rigney. The story goes that in 1865 William Rigney discovered the body of a young man on the riverbank following a flood. He arranged an inquest and burial for the unknown miner, erecting a headstone with the words 'Somebody's Darling Lies Buried Here.' Upon his death in January 1912, he was buried as requested beside 'Somebody's Darling'.
