St. Lawrence is nowadays little more than a faded signpost some 150 km south of Mackay, on the main Bruce Highway. The sign points eastwards, to the coast and an inlet where in days past many people first found their way ashore, then inland to develop land. Today the rail line winds around the small elevation on which the township stands, with mangroves and muddy flats all around.

The cemetery is tucked away in the trees, a moderately large open space without a hint of grass, but which is nevertheless kempt and unlittered, with a fence and well looked after headstones, most with carefully repainted inscriptions. The single large central wattle tree is home to a swarm of the fiercest mosquitoes I have experienced in Australia to date!

Some images of the place will remain; a recent grave with a battered Akubra (hat) central, and an unopened bottle of beer at the head...

We have now gone to a live on-line database called MOP ('Myra's Other Place') and the records listed below are steadily being copied over. Once a record is there a green tick will show alongside the entry. The MOP database has a lot more than just cemetery records and is worth checking out here where you can log in as Guest password guest.
