Sightseeing
This small private cemetery was the first in the Heidelberg District with the Warringal Cemetery (Heidelberg) taking over the role as general cemetery for the district. The cemetery can still be found in Hawdon Street, although it is now reduced in size to a single building block. There are a small number of headstones still standing and a memorial plaque at the front of the cemetery. The Banyule Council currently maintains the grave restoration and maintenance. Two houses have been built on the remaining ground after the person wishing to build the houses (an architect) in the 1950s/60s arranged for the exhumation of the graves on this land and the reburials at Warringal Cemetery.
