Gundaroo Catholic Pioneer Cemetery

Toual, Australia · built 1857

The Gundaroo Catholic Pioneer Cemetery is on the Sutton Road opposite the beginning of Back Creek Road a few kilometres south of Gundaroo, New South Wales, Australia. A plaque at the entranceway reads: This cemetery was gifted to the Catholic community by Donald Roderick Macleod, a Presbyterian. The Reverend Gilliard Smith was refusing to bury non-Anglicans at the burial ground at Upper Gundaroo, attached to the Anglican Church of St. Luke. The earliest burials here were in 1857 of Mary Hughes and Mugwill & Bridget Donnelly of Bywong. Burials included non-Catholics. Many Catholic pioneer families such as Massy, Leahy, Booth, Donnelly & Hughes are represented.
