The following is a copy of a document on the Newington Cemetery produced for various
authories by Susie Zada, Bellarine Historical Society, April 1997.
This document was produced in April 1997 after more than twelve months of research into
the area of Ocean Grove and Newington, and immediately following the uncovering of the
last crucial piece in the jigsaw puzzle of the "Newington Cemetery".
The research is not complete, however it was felt that it was important to document the
information already unearthed (no pun intended!) with the hope that further details would
come to light as more people learn of our work to date.
It was also important to record these details and lodge them with appropriate
organisations and authorities to ensure that no-one had to repeat the work we had already
done.
The following sections appear in this document :-
Since the production of the original Newington Cemetery document, more information has
been provided or researched.
The plaque laid on 4th March, 1989 and uncovered in 1997.
In Memory of the Pioneers of this area especially those who are buried here.
