You search the cemetery for his grave like the other tourists and there it is. Underwhelming. Just a stone with a plaque. I stood there for a long time, trying to figure out some sort of dramatic way to photograph the grave, but nothing came to me. There was graffiti in chalk on a nearby grave which has room to write stuff, but it’s not Morrison’s grave.
In Greek: “according to his own daimōn” or interpreted as “true to his own spirit”
When I was there you couldn’t get within coo-ee of it because of all the drunks and stoners lying around.

Could you explain to us Americans exactly what a “coo-ee” is? Does it have something to do with Jim Morrison’s haunting voice? It’s fitting that drunks and stoners visit Morrison’s gravesite, considering that he was one of the most talented drunks and stoners of his era.
Hi Lester; “coo-ee” actually refers to a call or a shout used in Australia by people out in the bush to call to others. It comes from an Aboriginal word meaning “come here”.
Why it’s evolved into the phrase “couldn’t get within coo-ee” is anybody’s guess. I guess it means that you couldn’t get close enough to hear coo-ee.

I go 3 July 2012 on the grave and the police is the monitor has any overflows that could occur, they have also pose barriers and is forcing it launched the flowers, he does not deserve it, people do not deserve that have flowers and throws him and what we can not visit his grave as we would like it made me sad
the tomb was not always thus, the tombstone she was not redone, have talked about the poetry of Jim and sing his songs, it’s all over.
