Cemetery

The cemetery at Mt Duneed is of local historical significance for the associations with the past residence and settlers of the district, the genealogical and other biographic data contained on the surviving headstones and tomb structures, and of architectural interest for the items of monumental masonry which mark the burial place of prominent local residents.

Many of the gravestones are by local monumental sculptors, including the work of Clements Nash, Nathaniel Brown, and Samuel Brain, and are of aesthetic merit.

The Mt Duneed Cemetery is a local landmark.
