The Sandhills is a nonfiction book about a famous and historic cemetery in Sydney, Australia. Excerpt: "The name Devonshire Street Cemetery could fairly be applied to those sections which faced or extended to that street, but is somewhat of a misnomer when describing the original Burial Ground, which faced Belmore Park. For lack of a better name, I and others refer to it as the "Sandhills Cemetery."
