Loch Ard Cemetery

Loch Ard Gorge Cemetery. The cemetery contains the graves of some of those killed in the ship wreck of the "Loch Ard" in June 1878. The ship, which was bound for Melbourne via Liverpool, struck rocks near the opening of a gorge, and only two out of 52 people on board survived the wreck. Only 4 bodies were recovered and they were buried here with cross spars from the wreckage used as markers until later replaced with headstones.
