does it contain existing headstones, or did it used to ? They seem not to be uptodate, but findagrave, billiongraves and auscemindex, none contain details of extant stones apart from the photos taken before clearing. Dave Rave (talk) 07:34, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

The St.Thomas Cemetery (and the church too, I think) was removed in the early 1970's to make way for an expressway to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. All the headstones were removed, and stored somewhere. It was only yesterday that I found the St Thomas Rest Park page, and a bit of checking located the site with the headstone images. Capt. Richard Gordon DIBBS was my uncle, George Richard my G-Grandfather. You may find the Wiki entry for John DIBBS (my G-G-Grandfather) of interest. I moved to Canada in 1989.
