It's modern name, Dutton Park Cemetery,
hides its former glory.This beautiful cemetery on the edge of the Brisbane River
is virtually all that survives of the former town of South
Brisbane. Today, this testament to the past
decays slowly, forgotten on the edge of the town. The second
largest cemetery in the state of Queensland, hides many
terrible tales in its darkened groves.
Forgotten in a darkened glen
lie the remains of 41 of those executed on the infamous
Gallows of BOGGO
ROAD GAOL - including Australia's last bushranger, outlaw
Patrick Kenniff; Ernest Austin (child killer) the last man
to be hanged in the state; Ellen Thompson, the only woman
to be hanged in Queensland history.
They are nothing to idolise. These vicious criminals were
responsible for some of the most infamous crimes in the
19th and early Twentieth centuries yet nothing marks their
graves.
