Trip Report

I was last here on 3 Dec 15.

Be careful when pulling off William Hovell Drive onto the verge to park. It might be safer to go round the corner onto Drake Brockman Drive to park in front of the RFS station.

Wander about the cemetery with respect.

A church building once stood there.

The cemetery was documented in the National Capital Development Commission’s (NCDC) Sites of Significance in the ACT as site B7, published in the 1990s. You can read the entry in the photos.

The site also features in an October 2006 paper Rural Graves in the ACT by Anne Claoué-Long.

There’s some interesting signage on the verge of Drake Brockman Drive between the RFS shed and Pegasus Riding School.
