These codes when scanned with a smart phone or tablet provide additional informative text/images that create an interactive walk throughout the history of the Doon. You can follow along the history here on our website or better yet, get out on the trail and take a wander through Bonnie Doon – follow the signs that go along with along with these pages. We hope you enjoy your walk back in time.
The Cemetary
Although many gravestones have disappeared, the one that remain tell stories about the lives and deaths of the people who found their final resting place in Bonnie Doon. Headstone inscriptions inform about age and family connections of the deceased and sometimes even give details such as place of birth, occupation and manner of death. As such, the Bonnie Doon cemetery is a focal point of historically important information and a place to remember generations gone by.
This walk crosses the traditional lands of the Taungurung people, and the Bonnie Doon Community acknowledges them as the traditional owners of the land. We also pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
