Gympie Cemetery

It was first unofficially located on the corner of Alfred and King Street,[1] currently the site of the ambulance station next to the Gympie Hospital.

[2][3] The flood-prone town of Gympie was subjected to diseases such as diphtheria, and the Tozer Park Cemetery bore the blame.

It was found that the ground was too low and hard digging, resulting in shallow burials that caused distressing odours.

[5] The Gympie Family History Society moved the remaining headstones to the new cemetery with the help of the Queensland Heritage Council.

The Gympie Family History Society coordinates regular cemetery walks with up to 60 people attending.
