In cemeteries throughout Australia, gravestones hint at our history – tales of early settlement, love lost, mystery, tragedy, health epidemics, scandal and sacrifice. Grave Tales reveals more than the headstone can ever convey by tracing the tumultuous journeys that lead to these final resting places.
Grave Tales: Bruce Highway visits cemeteries and features people who willingly or unwilling, were participants in events that made local and national headlines. Stories like how two nurses in Maryborough in 1905 who gave their lives to save a town from an outbreak of pneumonic plague; the migrant who created his dream and shared it with generations; the mother and her five children who lost their lives in the Mackay cyclone; how gold fever changed life in the north; and the 13 RAAF members who came to rest permanently in Townsville, to name but a few.
