This short extract from 'Leichhardt's Grave' appears in Thomas McCombie's sketch 'The Bush-Graves of Australia', which was initially published in Tait's Edinburgh Magazine in January 1858. This sketch later appeared in McCombie's Australian Sketches : Second Series (1861). Here the Moreton Bay Courier reproduced only part of McCombie's original sketch.
