Camperdown Cemetery

Camperdown Cemetery is a historic cemetery established in 1848-1849 in Newtown, Inner West Sydney, New South Wales, now forming the core of Camperdown Memorial Rest Park. Surrounding St Stephen's Anglican Church, it is one of Sydney's earliest surviving cemeteries and is heritage-listed. Notable for its Victorian funerary monuments, mature Moreton Bay fig trees and the memorial to victims of the 1857 Dunbar shipwreck, it serves as both a heritage site and public park.

Visitors can expect a tranquil urban parkland centred on a historic cemetery surrounding St Stephen's Anglican Church. The site contains weathered sandstone headstones, vaults and monuments set among lawns and large Moreton Bay fig trees. Paths wind through the cemetery and park areas where visitors can view 19th-century funerary art, the Dunbar memorial, and the Gothic Revival church exterior. It is a quiet place for walking, photography and heritage appreciation within inner-city Newtown.
