Golden Grove Cemetery

Golden Grove Cemetery, managed on behalf of the City of Tea Tree Gully, has its origins in the early settlement of the area by Adam Robertson, who arrived in South Australia aboard the "Lady Lilford" in 1839. After purchasing land in 1842, Robertson named his farm "Golden Grove" after the last ship he had commanded. In March 1849, he donated an acre of land for religious worship and secular education, where the Golden Grove School was established and also served as a church. The cemetery was formally established in 1853 when a resolution granted permission for George Logan to bury his child on the school grounds, with a quarter-acre set aside as a general burying place for the local community. The cemetery, located on the corner of Crouch Road and One Tree Hill Road, is the final resting place of many early pioneers who helped shape the region, including Adam Robertson himself, who died in 1864. With over 170 years of history, the cemetery offers visitors a fascinating glimpse into the lives of those who built the City of Tea Tree Gully.
