I absolutely love this lands short history.nI remember visiting St Johns when in school and it triggered a lifelong interest in our history.nnThe 3 photos are of the marker, stone and plaque of Henry Dodd. Oldest known European marked grave in Oz.nnThis cemetery is now well maintained, grass and weeds taken care of. My only wish is rejuvenating the stones that have been weathered to the point you can't read and appreciate their value.nnI love St Johns.nSpend a half hour there.nBack right for H. Dodd.nnAll tours around Parramatta are worthwhile.

I've been here two times, when I was a kid on an excursion in primary school. We got to learn about the first fleet people who are buried here and some bush rangers. When the tour ended, I ran back to the entrance and tripped over a foot stone. My bad. The second time was just recently. We found a cabbage and a flower on a grave. Odd experiences both times. The history of the place is interesting. It is well kept. They had half mowed the grass when I visited so some of my photos turned out creepy. All I needed was a bit of fog to complete it.

The oldest remaining European burial ground in Australia. The burial site of Henry Dodd, a “First Fleeter” & “Faithful Servant of Governor Phillip” is located towards the rear. He was a butler who had ‘sound farm knowledge.’ Died 28.01.1791.

Convict history right in the centre of the city with Australia's oldest cemetery holding First Fleeter's graves. Tours run by the friends of St Johns Cemetery are well worth the donation.
