Cemetery Tours


MDHS runs Tours of the Mortlake Cemetery and is always happy to run a tour for another group. Since Mortlake was settled in the early 1850s, its cemetery tells many stories. There are seven known former Tasmanian convicts buried in the cemetery and these are some of the 'stars' of our tours! At least ten people interred at Mortlake were born in the 1700s and these also feature on our tours.

Participants in the Tour listen to the story of Thomas Montgomery who emigrated from Northern Ireland as a teenager and who went from being a grocer's apprentice to becoming a business entrepreneur in Mortlake and Terang, Shire of Mortlake councillor and philanthropist.
