This multi will take you on a walk through the Old Remark Cemetery. Please note the area of the final has been damaged and is not as it was at placement. At some stage I will relocate, but this will obviously require some modifications to the questions.
The District Council of Renmark Paringa has put together a history trail with the assistance of local historian Heather Everingham. If you are not on a numbers run, I recommend a visit to the Renmark Visitor Information Centre, where you can obtain the walk brochure and read the backgrounds of more of the people buried here. These include local identities, a violin maker, a housemaid to a countess, the daughter of a Marquis and other interesting characters! This multi takes you to some of the graves mentioned in the trail booklet and I would like to acknowledge that much of the information in the descriptions comes from there.
GZ is located at S 34 A.BCD E140 43.CFF To obtain the missing numbers you will need to answer simple questions about various locations in the cemetery. The numbers in brackets refer to the numbered signs which form the cemetery history trail. They will help confirm that you are at the correct grave.
We start our walk in the garden near the carpark. Stop and admire the SCULPTURE before wandering over to the our next stop, the STONE, where you need to answer your first question. The total number of arches in the nearby cream brick structure = A
R3 SISSIE (Maked Grave #8) In 1893 “Cliff” and “Sissie” Little were part of a large group of young settlers who travelled to an area on Ral Ral Creek, which was popular for picnics. Whilst the women chatted and prepared the food, the young men went shooting. “Sissie” died of an accidental gun discharge on B0/0B/189B
R4 JAMES (Marked Grave #11) James Trussel accompanied Colonel William Light as a 10 year old cabin boy on the brig “Rapid” in 1836! On his headstone he is described as a colonist of F7 years
R5 ALIBEY (Marked Grave #15) You are standing at the grave of Ali Bey, whose headstone describes him as a faithful servant and loving friend. As a young man he fought in the Indian Border wars and later in life in Renmark he worked for the Durack family of cattle empire fame. In fact he is mentioned in many of the books written by author Dame Mary Durack OBE. His headstone names the city he came from. If A=1, B=2, C=3…Z=26, use the first letter of this city to obtain C
R6 KATH This is the grave of little Kathleen Mary Edwards. The adjacent headstone (Marked Grave #17) is capped by an angel, but what is atop Kathleen’s grave. The number of letters in this word will give you D
R7 CAPT (Marked Grave #28) Captain William Drage worked as a riverboat captain, was a member of the RAAF and worked for the postal service. He was father to F children.
