- Who's buried at Melbourne General Cemetery? [Melbourne Revealed Ep.4]
This episode in 'Melbourne Revealed' I meet up with the indefatigable Ivan Nevill and we head to the Melbourne General Cemetery to give it a little bit of an exploration. We check out the graves of some former Australian Prime Ministers and chat a bit about them. We also see the monument to explorers Burke and Wills, the Holocaust memorial, the grave of Peter Lalor, the grave of Walter Lindrum and ask 'What is a memorial to Elvis doing at Melbourne Cemetery?' So join us as we present Melbourne'General Cemetery, a place with its own sadness, but also a beauty too. And what will the earliest grave that we find be?

Nothing more 'funner' than visiting a cemetery. With IVAN NEVILL! We had a great time exploring Melbourne General Cemetery and discovering just who was buried there!
Beautiful video my friend, great upload, very nice sharing, fully watched!👍👍
Thanks for visiting!
You guys are just lovely. Enjoyed your video. From USA
Thanks so much for the love and your support!
Dear Andy, this time you have gone to the place where we all have to go at the end. 🙂....What a such huge cemetery. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Travel China...
cheers!
@@AndysWorldJourneys you got a video on visiting Australian gangsters that are no longer with us
Found this video by chance. I remember Ivan from years ago when the Comfy Chair (bar) was still around! Been a WHILE since I've seen that face
:) he's doing well thanks for your support and watching the video!
That was cool guys, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and commenting :)
I was once doing a last to leave the coffin wins $10,000 then I literally won and I saw him filming and i love this video ever hopefully my family could like this video 😀
last chance to leave the coffin? That sounds... wow! Maybe not a competition i would enter! Thanks for your support!
At 14:11, the plaques on the wall are where the coffin is placed inside with the stone enclosing it.
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
I use to play in Melbourne greater as a child..I livedin the high rise flats in Lygon Street...
so not far away at all! Thanks for watching!
There was a comment from someone saying that it’s not appropriate to film graves. I dispute that, people lived, did things and passed on. I am a researcher and what is wrong with telling the stories of people. Very interesting. 🇦🇺👍🍺
thanks for your kind words sir
You spelt Melbourne wrong in the end credit! Good to see some Aussie memorials.
lol did I??/ Well, no one is perfect!!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting Tracy!
I have several ancestors at Melbourne General, but not sure where exactly, or if they even have headstones. Waiting for MGC to release their digitized records.
Interesting to find out I'm sure hope that comes through for you soon thanks for watching
HI Andy, you weren't too far out with your guess as to how old Melbourne General Cemetery is, it was first used in 1852, not 1853
Thanks for watching and for the correction!
@@AndysWorldJourneysHow am I able to arrange tours of the cemetery?
Is that a like thieves tshirt ?
I will have to check with Ivan next time I see him! thanks for watching!
Is Dean Jones buried in that cemetery?
Not as far as I know! Thanks for watching. I did a search to see where he is buried but I can't find that information
@@AndysWorldJourneys Try to find that. Thanks
