Dunwich Cemetery, Heritage cemetery in North Stradbroke Island, Australia.
The cemetery spans over 3.2 hectares of grassland with scattered mature trees, overlooking the waters of Moreton Bay in Queensland.
Established in 1850 as Queensland's second oldest European cemetery, the site contains over 8,400 graves of former Dunwich Benevolent Asylum residents.
The memorial wall, constructed with bricks from the former asylum, commemorates the thousands of individuals who rest in unmarked graves throughout the grounds.
The cemetery grounds are accessible via a central vehicle track, managed by the Redland City Council, and can be reached by ferry from Cleveland.
Two Brisbane doctors who died treating typhus patients from the ship Emigrant lie among the cemetery's 10,000 recorded burials.
