Herberton General Cemetery
Address: Syme Road, Herberton 4872 QLD
Herberton General Cemetery is divided into Anglican, Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian, Aboriginal and Non-denominational portions. It contains inscriptions dating from 1884 to the present day. The monuments are generally in good condition for age but several of the older marble stones have fallen and broken. As yet there is no columbarium on the site.
Peter Patterson-Kane has contributed images of every visible inscription he made during visits to the cemetery in August and September 2007. He found the site well maintained by the Tablelands Regional Council. There is a parking area at the entrance and good internal roads but there are no facilities. A graphic illustration of the cemetery layout (see above) assists in the location of graves.
Peter's images may be downloaded from the list of inscriptions for this cemetery. That list was compiled from Peter's images and with reference to the Queensland BDM online search facility and to the Australian War Memorial military rolls for additional information.
