Exciting things are happening at Bellbrae Cemetery! 🌿

We are pleased to announce that a new gravesite area is now open and available at Bellbrae Cemetery. Established in 1864, our cemetery has long been a place of local heritage, and this new addition continues our tradition of honouring the natural landscape.

The new area is located in the northern section and has been thoughtfully designed with a curved layout that sits sympathetically within the environment. Staying true to our native floral themes, the new sections are named Correa, Grevillea and Manna Gum.

The expansion will provide approximately 200 lawn graves and 400 headstone-only graves, suitable for traditional burials. We also have some sites designated for ashes only due to proximity to trees and landscaping. This is in addition to our existing variety of garden memorial sites also available for the placement of ashes throughout the cemetery.

Whilst all structural work has been completed, there is still further planting to take place and we expect the grass to be looking even better after more winter rains and spring sunshine.

🎥 Check out the video for a bird's-eye view of this wonderful new area!

Further information on available burial options can be found on our website under ‘Selecting a Gravesite’.

Celebrate Our Volunteers! 🌿

This National Volunteer Week, we want to shine a bright light on the dedicated individuals who pour their hearts into the Bellbrae Cemetery.

Most people might not realise that our cemetery is managed by a Volunteer Trust. These members donate countless hours behind the scenes—managing the essential administration, planning for the future, and working "on the ground" to ensure everything runs smoothly and stays beautiful for our community. It is a labour of love, and we are so grateful for their leadership and commitment.

A Huge Shout-Out to Our Working Bee Team! 🐝
We also want to recognise our incredible team of Working Bee volunteers. Every two months, this hardworking group rolls up their sleeves to give the grounds a "spruce up." From seasonal gardening to special projects, their hands-on efforts help keep the grounds looking pristine.

To all our volunteers: Thank you. Your time, energy, and care make all the difference.

Nature in bloom at Bellbrae. 🌸

The Grevillea in our Callistemon Memorial Garden is putting on a spectacular show right now! These vibrant pink natives are a beautiful, hardy feature of our terraced rock garden, creating a peaceful space for reflection.

Whether you're visiting a loved one or just passing through, we hope these blooms bring a little brightness to your day. 🌿

Remembering Mothers Everywhere ✨

Today, we pause to honour and reflect on the dear mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures resting peacefully at Bellbrae Cemetery.

For some, Mother’s Day may bring a mix of emotions, so whether you’re remembering, grieving or simply getting through, we hope you find comfort in knowing others care.

To those visiting today and those remembering from afar, we acknowledge the invaluable impact of all Mums.

Forever in our hearts. ❤️

Sunshine, Spades, and Great Company! ☀️

We couldn’t have asked for a better day on Friday for our working bee. With the sun shining and perfect conditions, a fantastic crew of volunteers and Trust Members rolled up their sleeves to give the grounds a spruce up.

There is something special about the combination of fresh air, hard work, and a good chat that really brings our community together. A massive thank you to everyone who helped w**d, prune, clean, mulch and tackle some special projects - your efforts ensure the cemetery remains a beautiful, peaceful sanctuary for everyone.

LOVE GARDENING AND GIVING BACK? 🌿

Come join us for our next Cemetery Working Bee this Friday, 1st May at 9:30 AM! It’s a fantastic way to enjoy the fresh air, get some gentle exercise, and help keep our cemetery looking beautiful.

We’ll be teaming up to tackle some general maintenance—mostly w**ding, raking, mulching and pruning. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just want to lend a hand, we’d love to have you.

As always, we’ll be wrapping up with morning tea—a great chance to relax and chat with the crew after a job well done! ☕️

Interested in joining us? Please contact the Trust Administrator before Friday to register as a volunteer and find out exactly where we’re meeting and what to bring.

LEST WE FORGET

Today, we pause to remember and honour all who have served our nation. Bellbrae is honoured to acknowledge over 100 veterans who have served our nation and are remembered here.

These men and women can be identified in several ways. Many have their service emblem – Army, Navy or Airforce displayed on their grave. Most are identified on our cemetery map by the letters SP (Service Personnel).

We continue to research and update our records, and we warmly welcome any additional information you may have about our veterans.

In accordance with Australian flag protocol, the Australian National Flag at the cemetery will be at half-mast from dawn until noon, at which time the flag will be raised to the peak for the remainder of the day.

They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.
