What a cemetery can recall to us now about Syd is perhaps what Syd recalled about Naranath that night in Formentera, the other way round. The theory here is that Syd used the Australian opal, and perhaps other symbols too, like a beacon to take us to an unreal distant land, and, in the case he knew the Indian variant of the word "opal", then he also knew the Indian variant of Sisyphus: Naranath Branthan.

What have we found?

A few pebbles to admire, and a statue to carry one of them.
