PHOTOGRAPH DETAILS

Creator/PhotographerAngela PhippenDescriptionThis is the plaque that marks the re-burial location of Flora Mackillop who died 30 May 1886, in her 70th year. Flora Mackillop was the mother of St Mary Mackillop.

Flora was originally buried in the cemetery of St Charles Borromeo, Ryde and a large marble monument marked that location. Flora's body was exhumed and re-buried in the Sisters of St Joseph Lawn of what is now called Macquarie Park Cemetery.
