Location and Map

• Oodla Wirra Cemetery is located on Rowe Street, off the Barrier Highway south-west of Oodla Wirra. Directions to the cemetery are available on the District Council of Peterborough website.

Aims

• This project is to document the life and times of the people interred in this Cemetery. Project members are needed to assist in the research and adding profiles and information to profiles. Hopefully it will grow to include links to other information and such things as video/audio tours of the cemetery.

Tasks Completed

1. Photography • The cemetery was photographed by Sue Giles in 2016.

To Do

1. Photo transcriptions • Details of all photos to be transcribed to the sortable table below. (87% complete)
2. WikiTree profiles • to be created for all people in the table below. The completed table will include links to WikiTree profiles and direct links to the photos of gravestones. The profile created can include other sources of information as well as biographical details of the person. (98% complete)
3. Audio and/or video tour • of all the Memorials to be created. Create a tour that can be taken on mobile phone or I-Pad or similar device. This tour will take someone around this cemetery to explore the history of the people buried here. Background information can be supplied. Those with mobile internet access can access online links to more information.
4. GPS Location of Memorials • for more information (contact Paul Bech). A dedicated GPS tracker can be used. For those with an android phone or pad there is an App called GPS Logger which can record the locations to a file which can be added to photos later with other software (Linux has GPSCorrelate). There are also cameras with GPS facility that can tag photos at the same time as they are taken.
5. Checking of transcription information • Other people are needed to assist in double-checking the validity of data entered to ensure accuracy.
