Tewantin Cemetery is 16 km east from Cooroy, on
the Cooroy-Tewantin Rd.
One stone proclaims Mary Hall, who died
24th Jun 1876 to be the first, dying for the honour, no doubt. However, there
is a very worn sandstone monument for a child, Isabella Louisa Clark 13-4-1876.
It has become undecipherable over the last two years. The death indexes reveal
she was the daughter of Stephen Clark & Jane Cumming.
The
cemetery is situated in a clearing on the edge of scrub country. Unique to this
cemetery is the Memorial Bush Garden. It is a series of winding gravel pathways,
lined by knee-high cement markers, similar to the old milestones. The Plaques,
about 20cm by 15 cm are fixed to the lectern tops of these markers. Yes, it is
in the bush.
