It was about that time that its name was changed.
Paul Fitzgerald visited the site and made digital images of every visible inscription in April 2010. He found inscriptions dating from 1883. The monuments are generally in good condition and upright with no apparent evidence of vandalism. The grounds are maintained in excellent condition by the Sunshine Coast Regional Council.
