The Grim is opening the gate and entering Rookwood Cemetery located in Sydney Australia. Spanning over 300 hectares, Rookwood is the largest cemetery in the Southern Hemisphere and the world’s largest still-operating Victorian-era cemetery. Established in 1867, it has been the final resting place for over 900,000 people from all walks of life.
Rookwood Cemetery is divided into sections for different religious and cultural groups, including Catholics, Jews, and even a memorial for Holocaust victims. One of the most poignant features of Rookwood is the Circle of Love, a heartfelt shrine dedicated to stillborn and infant children.
But Rookwood is more than just a cemetery – it’s a nationally significant heritage site. Efforts are underway to preserve the site’s rich history, ensuring it remains a living part of Australia’s heritage for generations to come.
Join us this week on The Grim to explore the history, mystery, and beauty of Rookwood Cemetery—a place where history and heritage converge.
