Nundah Cemetery
Nundah Cemetery is a heritage-listed cemetery, located at 88 Hedley Avenue in the suburb of Nundah, Queensland in the city of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
==Establishment==
The cemetery commenced as a small burial ground in 1846.〔(Nundah Cemetery Trust ), accessed 29 January 2011.〕 It was officially opened in 1862.〔(Brisbane City Council, ''Historic Cemeteries'' ), accessed 6 December 2009〕 At that time, the district was known as "German station", as the earliest settlers were Lutheran missionaries, and hence the cemetery was originally known as "German Station Cemetery". The district was originally outside of the town of Brisbane and was a farming community. At that time, the road beside the cemetery was (somewhat unimaginatively) known as "Cemetery Road". However the introduction of a railway through the district in 1882 opened it up for residential area housing for the growing town of Brisbane. As "Cemetery Road" was regarded as an unattractive name for a residential street, it was renamed "Hedley Avenue" at some time in the 1930s or 1940s after local doctor Hedley Brown.
Many of the pioneers of the Nundah district are buried in this cemetery. The cemetery was originally established with a set of local trustees, but the records they kept of burials were somewhat sketchy at times. In the 1930s, Brisbane City Council took over the management of the cemetery (by this time Nundah was within the boundaries of the City of Brisbane).
As the German station settlement was established in 1838, it is unclear where the earliest burials in the settlement would have occurred.
