Sandgate Cemetery Tour

Join the Newcastle Family History Society, in partnership with Metropolitan Memorial Parks, for a guided walking tour uncovering the stories behind twelve significant burial sites. From tales of tragedy and resilience including a fatal water tram accident, a child’s drowning and a coal industry legacy to the remembrance of a never forgotten family friend and a mother of eleven, these tours offer a powerful glimpse into Newcastle’s past.

Tours run every half hour from 9:00am to 1:00pm, led by NFHS members and last for an hour. Please come prepared with enclosed shoes, water, sun protection, and insect repellent.

Note: the route is not suitable for wheelchairs or walkers due to uneven terrain.

Registration essential: Email nfhssandgategroup@gmail.com with your name, contact number, group size and names, plus two preferred tour times. Further details will be provided upon registration.

Due to high demand, the 9am session is FULL.
