Mary with Reverend Doug Newman (St. Paul’s Ginninderra Anglican Church)
Recently the history behind another slice of Canberra’s past came to life when Mary unveiled a new interpretive sign in Evatt.
The interpretive sign tells the history of the site, dating back to 1861. The unmarked cemetery was largely destroyed by roadworks and development of the land in the 1970s and 1980s. The site was formerly a donation of 1.5 hectares of land by Robert Campbell of Duntroon in 1841 for a church, school and cemetery.
