Pioneers’ Memorial Park is located along the Hume Highway, between Campbell Street and Macquarie Street, in the south western suburb of Liverpool. This was originally the site of the cemetery of St Luke's Anglican Church. In 1970, the cemetery was converted into a rest park, featuring the original headstones in a memorial wall.
I think the idea of Pioneers’ Memorial Park is spot on! Because the rest park brings green and peaceful surroundings into the city. And because a memorial wall is historically valuable.
ReplyDeleteThe wall certainly becomes quite eye catching.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely photo- and the memorial headstones are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of preserving pioneer headstones in this memorial wall. Very creative.
ReplyDeleteWow-what an uber cool memorial!
ReplyDeleteThis is so interesting!I don't think I've ever seen an headstone wall...
ReplyDeletewow, the stones are shoulder to shoulder.
ReplyDeleteGood way to preserve the headstones and the people buired here are remembered
ReplyDeleteI always find the walls made of headstones a strange idea - not sure why!

ReplyDeleteGreat idea to preserve the headstones that way. Still honoring the dead though not on top of their graves.
