More information on Melbourne Cemetery Tours
Now the permanent home to artists, actors, explorers, judges and the odd murderers and their victims, the Melbourne General Cemetery offers a fascinating glimpse into Melbourne's past. Led by historians Jan Davidson and Helen Harris (OAM) the tours cover specific themes such as Creative Colonists, Law & Order, the Gentle Sex and Who was Who. Some of the famous Melburnians resident in this vast slice of Parkville are explorers Burke and Wills; actor Federici (now rumoured to haunt the Princess Theatre); Judge Redmond Barry, who sentenced Ned Kelly to death, and Peter Lalor, leader of the Eureka Stockade rebellion. The tours are not suitable for young children. Bookings are essential, as a minimum of five participants is needed for the tour to go ahead.
