Cemeteries This project has resulted in a written history of the Ballaarat Old and New Cemeteries, and the Crematorium. The Silent City: The History of the Ballaarat General Cemeteries by Dorothy Wickham and Peter Butters tells the history of the Ballarat cemeteries from the earliest times of sexton Ethersays burials from 1847 to 2006.The Old Cemetery was officially opened on 20 May 1856. This is a continuing project. Can you help with any images of graves, tombstones, or general cemetery views?
