Nillumbik Cemetery (by Jean Verso)

Jun 152022
 

On 15th June, some of members were given a guided tour of Nillumbik Cemetery in Diamond Creek by Jean Verso from Nillumbik Historical Society and member of the Nillumbik Cemetery Trust.

The first recorded burial was Hannah Lawrey in 1869.

The gateway to the cemetery (Ellis Gateway) was installed in 1897 by the executor of the will of William Ellis at a cost of £100.
