Indepth Arts News: "Ashes Urn Exhibition" 2006-11-25 until 2006-12-06 South Australian Museum Adelaide, SA, AU Australia
The urn had previously been given to Bligh by the group which included the future Mrs Bligh: they became Lord and Lady Darnley.
On Lord Darnley’s death in 1927 the Ashes were bequeathed to the Marylebone Cricket Club and they have been the unofficial icon of the Ashes Test series ever since.
The last time the Ashes were displayed in Australia was in 1988 when they were briefly on show in Sydney as part of the Bicentenary Celebrations.
