Address: Bar Island NSW 2083 Records suggest this cemetery contains the remains of over 58 river residents and workers. The earliest known colonial interment was 5 month old Caroline Mary Banks in 1879, however it is possible there were burials occurring before this. In 1880 a local matriarch Sarah Ferdinand (known as “Granny” Lewis), was buried on the island, though the exact location of her grave is unknown. She is considered to have been the last tribal Aboriginal person from the local Guringai people. With the destruction of the church building and the opening of the Brooklyn cemetery, use of Bar Island for interments seems to have ceased around 1906.
