The cemetery is situated in the higher end of Queen's Rd., in Caloundra,
Opposite of Sir Francis Nicklin United Church.
Caloundra Shire-beautiful one day, perfect the next- resulted from
an amalgamation of the Caloundra & the Landsborough shires in 1987.
Jack Beausang O.B.E., long serving alderman, chairman & Mayor, died
3rd Mar 2000, aged 87. Jack had the distinction of being the last chairman
of Landsborough, and the first mayor of Caloundra City. Jack had served
local government since 1955.
Cemetery records are held at the council offices in Ormuz St, conveniently
across the road from the library. Not that you could miss the council
building, much green glass. The former council chambers at Landsborough
have become a museum of local history. No serious researcher of this
locality could afford to neglect a visit to check the extensive collection
of records and artefacts. Caloundra is about one hour's drive north
of Brisbane. Watch the hairpin as you exit the motorway.
It is a large reserve, catering for a mixture of memorials, the conventional
plot, walls, columbarium, gardens, and lawn.
The earliest monument commemorates Richard Proctor Remington,
who died 6th Jan 1918, aged 76.
