Great video. I've been there once, but I had no idea that it is so huge. The Irish memorial is spectacular 😍

A great video, so interesting and well done, thank you! Thanks also to the staff and volunteers for all the maintenance work they do in a harsh seaside environment.

Thank you

I have really enjoyed the video, such love and care of the volunteers who help maintain Australia 's history. If ever I get to Sydney again, it will be on my must see list. I was just trying to find where my Great, great Grandfather is buried when I came across this site .

It truly is a walk through Australian history. Going to school in Gosford I learned about Henry Kendall and his great poem The Bellbirds. He wrote the poem in that area after hearing the beautiful chimes of the birds around the sandstone area of Godford. Kendall's cottage is located in West Gosford The info given on Victor Trumper is not that well known. He could easily be regarded as one of the foundation fathers of Rugby League in Sydney from 1908. Victor excelled in at least three sports also being a first grade baseball player with the Paddington Club. His schoolboy mate was Monty (M.A.) Noble who also played baseball with Victor and as great cricketers they are always remembered by having spectator stands named after them at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Evelyn James (nee Marsden), nurse and stewardess aboard the RMS Titanic, is buried at Waverley. Evelyn survived the sinking in lifeboat 16; having been persuaded to get aboard by Mr J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star Line. Evelyn rowed until her hands were raw. Following her death, Evelyn's heartbroken husband, Dr William Abel James died just eight days later and they are at rest together.

Very Interesting. Must find that Gravesite

[@leanneblake4248]

My Great Grandparents on my Father side are resting in Waverly. My Great Grandfather in 1915 . And then in 1954 his wife joined him in 1954 . Sadly the Angel lost it's head 💔. I need to revist. With much thanks to all. 💕

[@caroljoyce8251]

My 2x great grandmother is buried there with a sea view.

[@graemeforssberg3986]

My grandfather is buried in this cemetery. However I now live in Melbourne and find it difficult to visit.

[@lozinozz7567]

Good to see a cemetery cared for and its occupants respected. Unlike Karrakatta - currently undergoing ‘renewal’ and graves being desecrated to make room for more in between. My pioneer ancestors are not being respected.

[@Aussiedreamer-pz5uw]

I used to walk through the cemetery after woke fifty years ago to visit a friend , I was around 16 😊 beautiful cemetery , I wonder if I attracted anything there, every now and then I have ‘unusual’ experiences 🙂

[@christinegalagher9405]

has anyone seen a ghost

[@BrenMurphy1]

We should build affordable apartments over this land. Of course, we have to move on at some point. But it is prime real estate. We can recreate it digitally for those who cling to some foolish notion of the afterlife. Build a website for them or something. But it is such a wasted indulgence to have a blank space like this.

[@DougthebearRichards]

It is as much a public park as a cemetery. We need theses spaces.

[@darekradulski6213]

Leave cemeteries alone ,give them some rest and dignity. You can build your affordable housing in Alice Springs.
