Witta Cemetery is situated on the north-western edge of the shire
on the Blackall Range, near Maleny. It is 3.6 Km from Kenilworth
Rd to the Cemertery on Witta Rd.
The cemetery was formerly known as Teutoburgh, after a German
mission, established nearby. Ernestine Vandreike, daughter of
Carl Schutz, wife of August Vandreike, born Germany, arrived 1885
"Dorunda", died 14th Sep 1912, aged 79, and her son Herman, born
Germany, died 3rd Nov 1905, aged 43.
A number of the plates here have pictures or symbols indicating
the interests of the deceased. e.g. musical notes, piano, horserider,
fisherman, sailing ships, motorcycle, guitar. One tall monument
has a simple inscription- In memory of William, a true friend,
native of North Queensland. Epitaph for Colin Henry Bryce, born
20th Aug 1922, died 13th Jun 1996. "It's not the first game that
counts, it's the last one."
