Rodd Point, memorial

This memorial in Rodd Park sits on the shore of Iron Cove, in the inner west suburb of Rodd Point. The land here was once owned by Brent Clements Rodd (1809-1898) and this memorial was originally the Rodd family mausoleum, but relocated to Rookwood Cemetery in 1903.

  1. This must be so close to where Dad and I were on Sunday. We were close to the water's edge right in front of Rodd Island.

  2. It was originally a mausoleum so that's how they entered.

  3. Brent Clements Rodd was my 2 x Great Grandfather, he arrived in Australia 200 years ago April this year aged 12, with his two brothers and his father. I do love family history. Pennie Rodd Griffiths
