On the Grid : East Perth Cemeteries

"East Perth Cemeteries is like a living history, or more accurately, a dead history of the city (boom tish! we’re here all week! try the veal!). And despite what you might be thinking, it is an amazing place to visit. Following the establishment of the Swan River Colony, as many as 10,000 people were buried on the site between 1830 and 1899. Almost 800 gravesites have been identified by a team of serious records detectives (perhaps better known as historians). What is revealed about the city’s early residents is fascinating – politicians to people of letters, surveyors to society figures to everyday Joes and Jills. Be sure to check when the gates open before visiting. Guided tours are available by appointment." - Studio Bomba

Such an interesting insight into Perth’s history, my 5 year old and I greatly enjoyed our visit which followed on nicely from the Fremantle Prison Convicts tour a couple of weekends prior. 5 stars for the experience and the wonderful volunteers (thank you Margaret) 4 stars is due to the difficulty of access due to the parking challenges at this time when the football is also on. We received a $60 parking fine. One side of the road clearly stated free weekend parking, the other was not very clearly marked residents only.

Val, who has volunteered for 30 years at East Perth Cemeteries, took as on a tour of the grounds did an amazing job! So much history and so many stories, highly recommended!

It may seem odd to some that visiting a cemetery is even a thing but they are interesting places to walk around. Technically East Perth Cemetery is a Graveyard as it is in the grounds of a church. Personally I find that old cemeteries hold a lot of history and East Perth certainly does. There are many surnames that may be familiar to locals like Stirling and Monger. The nominal fee allows for the up keep of the grounds. currently $10 Adults, $7 Concession, $5 children (5 and up, under 5s free). Also, at the time of writing this the cemetery is only open on Sundays between 2pm and 4pm.

This cemetery contains the remains of many of Perth's earliest European settlers. To walk around and read the headstones is to see the names of many suburbs, roads and parks within Perth. Entry is $5 and it is only open Sunday between 2-4pm.

We were lucky enough to go to a Halloween concert, the venue was perfect, an achingly beautiful church with well kept grounds. Parking was a challenge but its imports to remember this is a crematorium not a stadium.

Such a beautiful and well preserved portion of our history.

This tour run by Two Feet and a Heartbeat was very interesting. Our guide was very professional and had a really good memory. We listened to stories from when the first settlers arrived to the entrepreneurs who helped build Western Australia. Well worth going to.

I have been here twice. The first time was a hot summers day and I hated it. The secomd was a beautiful winters day and I LOVED IT. Without the stinking sun sizzling my skin I got to enjoy the history in this amazing place. Its open for 2 hours on Sundays, 12-2pm. Its $2 entry and the history in this place is amazing.
