The West End Cemetery is Townsville's oldest known cemetery, serving the area from 1868 to 1902. The site is significant for both it's social and aesthetic value to past, present and future generations, and as a valuable source of historical information on the development of Townsville and North Queensland.
The cemetery is an excellent example of a Victorian period cemetery, containing early headstones, plantings and perimeter fencing.
The West End Cemetery ‘Life, Death and Memorialisation in Early Townsville’ Adventure Lab accompanies Townsville City Council's self-guided trail, which endeavours to provide an insight into the lives of some of Townsville’s most famous individuals, shifts in how death was memorialised during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and trends in monumental headstone design.
Visit 5 historic gravesites and answer questions to complete the lab. Each correct answer will unlock a clue to this bonus hidden nearby.
* Please note the cemetery is open from 6am to 6pm.
The final is located at S19 1A.BBC E146 4B.DEB
