North Brisbane Burial Ground

This land is now used as Lang Park stadium and Ithaca Swimming Pool and children's parkland (see plans).

[1] The First Brisbane Burial Ground was established in 1825 when Brisbane was established as the Moreton Bay penal colony at present-day Skew Street (near the William Jolly Bridge northern endpoint).

[5] In 1907, the Ithaca Shire Council began to plan to convert the cemetery, by then an eyesore for the community, into a recreational reserve.

[6] By the 1910s, relatives were offered the opportunity to exhume and reinter deceased family members or to relocate their headstone or other monumental masonry.

[8] In 2001, the development of Hale Street into a major traffic route resulted in the resumption of some of the memorial reserve and the remaining headstones were reorganised into an even smaller memorial park behind Christ Church (and are only accessible via the churchyard).
