The full-bodied oil from Adelaide city's West Terrace Cemetery is the latest effort by Australian authorities to attract not just the dead - but also the living - to the historic sites.

By reinventing cemeteries as unexplored, lush, green spaces in the heart of crowded cities, they hope to challenge the taboos surrounding death while breathing new life into the usually somber grounds.
