  • Landmark
  • Attractions

³Ô¹ÏÍø's most iconic and historically significant cemetery is characterised by its location, notable interments and Prime Ministers' Garden.

Since the first burial on 28 May 1853, there have been over 300,000 burials including former prime ministers Sir Robert Menzies, James Scullin, Harold Holt and Sir John Gorton, along with Peter Lalor, Sir Redmond Barry, John Pascoe Fawkner, Robert O'Hara Burke and William John Wills.

Loosely separated into denominational precincts, the cemetery is beautifully designed with landscaped grounds and meandering paths, Victorian-era monuments and statues, the historic gate lodge and Jewish and Catholic chapels.

The cemetery welcomes community engagement and hosts a series of events and tours throughout the year.
