Kembla Grange Old Cemetery contains inscriptions dating from 1907 to 1967. It is divided into Anglican, Catholic, Independent, Methodist and Presbyterian portions of which the Presbyterian portion contains the most graves. The monuments are generally in good order and the grounds of this long closed cemetery are maintained in reasonable condition by Wollongong City Council. There are a number of unmarked graves and grave surrounds without a headstone or inscription.
Wayne Hill visited the site and made digital images of all visible inscriptions in 2002. His images may be downloaded from the list of all inscriptions for this cemetery. http://austcemindex.com/index.php?id=597 . That list was compiled from Wayne's pictures and data supplied by him and with reference to the NSW indices of births, deaths and marriages and to the Australian War Memorial online military rolls for additional information.

Please be respectful when visiting this area. Please make sure lid aligns correctly when closing and please place back exactly how you found it. Try not to give it away in your logs and please don't post photos of container. There is long grass so covered shoes may be needed. Have fun.
