Maria Island, TAS

Nestled within the historic Darlington settlement on Maria Island, the Maria Island Cemetery serves as a poignant reminder of the island's rich past. Established during the convict eras, it was primarily used for free settlers, with convicts interred in a mass grave. Over time, many headstones have fallen and broken, making them difficult to spot until one is upon them. The cemetery's location offers a unique glimpse into the island's history, with the Darlington valley and the Tasmanian mainland's blue hills providing a picturesque backdrop.
