Seniors Festival: Who lies beneath, Liverpool Pioneer's Memorial Park Cemetery Tour

Beneath the ground in the peaceful Liverpool Pioneer's Memorial Park lie some of Liverpool's most significant characters from the past; people who changed the history of New South Wales through lives that were dramatic, triumphant, and sometimes tragic.  Join us for a ninety-minute tour of the cemetery to discover stories of whalers and walkers, landowners and liars, convicts, cops and crooks, as Storyteller and Guide Jo Henwood leads us through the graves to bring history to life.
