Boasting more goths per square metre than a Robert Smith concert the cemetery features big trees and creepy gravestones. A mix of kept and unkept tombstones the cemetery is serene and historic. A lovely place to explore the history of Newtown or take a piss when the portaloos are full during the Newtown festival. It has something for everyone.

Here lies a lot of stories which are forgotten. The stones are barley readable, because some are two hundred years old! It's a pretty place for photography, not that big, light is good and has a lot of atmosphere in this setting. Dogs are allowed to walk off leash.

Peaceful old cemetery, full of charm and character, with lush vegetation and crooked tombs. Perfect for a slow meditative walk before the hussle and bustle of nearby King Street.

This was @ nighttime so I couldn’t read the headstones - But apparently, there’s a role-call of famous names buried here. Nevertheless, it’s still pretty spectacular.

Atmospheric place... It feels like stepping into a parallel world, stone throw away from the hustle of King Street.
