Landscape, People, Monuments
for Friends of Gore Hill Cemetery
by John Flint
A Biographical, Pictorial, and Environmental Record written for the Friends of Gore Hill Cemetery
A peaceful green sanctuary hidden beside a busy highway on Sydney’s North Shore, Gore Hill Memorial Cemetery is the resting place of over 14,000 people whose lives have been part of the fabric of the city and far beyond.
This illustrated book encapsulates many of their stories and describes the diversity of monuments on which their names are inscribed, while celebrating the environment of this area set aside by far-seeing pioneers one hundred and fifty years ago.
With its mature trees, hedges, and variety of flowers, the cemetery provides a place for quiet contemplation and reflection as well as a record of the past.
