Karrakatta - Loch Street Station

Loch Street station looks good today. September 2009

 

Karrakatta - Cemetery

The entrance to Karrakatta Cemetery off Railway Road. The entrance is right across the road from Karrakatta train station. Just inside the entrance off to the right is a cafeteria. Right across the other side of the cemetery, near Smyth Road, is the war cemetery. December 2010

 

Karrakatta - Cemetery

This rather exquisite structure is a large type of gazebo. It is equipped with resting chairs and the walls are decorated with some details of the cemetery history. Rather a peaceful ambience and I suppose a welcome rest area particularly on a hot or a wet day. December 2010

 

Karrakatta - Cemetery

Some of the graves in the cemetery. Individually tomb markings and boundaries have given away to this open grass style. December 2010

 

Karrakatta - Monumental Masons

Outside the cemetery and across the road is the Midland Monumental works, on Railway Road. December 2010
