WEETANGERA CEMETERY HEADSTONES

A cairn of stones at the entrance to the old Weetangera Cemetery, located on William Hovell Drive in Canberra, is all that remains of the Weetangera Methodist Church (demolished 1955). The headstones of the remaining cemetery are dominated by the pioneering Southwell family, however Smith, Kilby, Murty and Browns are represented also.

I have a post on the Weetangera Cemetery (here)
