A quick reminder that we have a general meeting and cleanup this Sunday. Meet in the shelter shed at 9am.

This photo shows how the cemetery looked in 1936. Note the very faint east-west tracks that were covered by graves in the 1940s.

Today's cemetery cleanup was one commissioned by a member of the public. There is quite a striking difference between the 'before' and 'after'.

Our next general meeting is Sunday 18th October. From October to March, inclusive, we are on 'Summer Time', which means general meetings start at 9am.

This Sunday we have our monthly cleanup at 10:30. This one is a commissioned clean, and it's quite large, so all help is appreciated.

Note that there will not be a committee meeting beforehand.

This image, from Brisbane City Council archives, is of the Cross of Sacrifice, in 1955.

Another day, another commissioned clean by our volunteers. Donations from these cleans help cover our expenses, such as consumables and insurance.

Kim commissioned the cleaning of her great-grandparents' grave. She also kindly provided the text and images pertaining to Henry and Sarah:

Henry Thomas Denby was born in Brisbane in 1883. He was a butcher by trade. He, along with his father and brothers ran a butcher shop in Brisbane city. He met and married his wife Sarah Edwards in Toowoomba when he was running a butcher shop with a member of the Gorring family. Henry Thomas Denby and Sarah had 4 children. 2 sons and 2 daughters. Henry's father and mother are also buried at Lutwyche. (Henry John Denby and Sophia Sara Gorring).

A group of volunteers completed some grave cleans recently for a donation. These ones scrubbed up well.

Last Sunday we held our AGM. Congratulations to our 2026-27 management committee: Paul, Keith, Katrina, and Cate.

Afterwards we completed a commissioned cleanup. This grave scrubbed up really well, but will improve over time as the bio-shield does its work.

Last Sunday, after a committee meeting, we had a headstone cleanup session in GP5. We had an enthusiastic group of volunteers, including FoLC's youngest members, Clara (11) and Alexandra (5).

Our next meeting is our AGM, which will be held on Sunday 16th of August at 10:30am.

24/06/2026

On Sunday after our general meeting, members of FoLC cleaned graves in COE3 including the Barnsley family plot, which will be featured in the next newsletter.

19/06/2026

The June meeting and cleanup is this Sunday, starting at 10:30am. All members and non-members are very welcome.

You may have seen these little grave markers throughout the cemetery. Sometimes they are laid into the concrete; sometimes they are loose. They are numbered A1 to A1000, B1 to B1000, etc., and can be cross-referenced with the burial records, of which about the first 60 years are publicly available.

Here you can see the markers for the 9th, 2823rd, and 10468th burials.
