Peter comments that that the grounds are very neat and tidy and well maintained by the Croydon Shire Council.
Peter's images may be downloaded from the list of all inscriptions for this cemetery. That list was compiled from his images and with reference to the Queensland indices of births, deaths and marriages and to the Australian War Memorial online military rolls for additional information.
Peter advises that The Visitor Information Centre at Croydon has a local Genealogy Database, with over 15,000 names of families that once called Croydon ‘home’ including information about unmarked graves.
