About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Gibson Island was selected as a burial ground for victims of the Bubonic Plague in 1900.

At least 14 people were buried on high ground at Gibson Island during 1900.

In April 1901, a decision was taken to close the cemetery and after this time plague victims

were buried in different Brisbane cemeteries. Any remnants of the plague cemetery have

been destroyed over the years by industrial developement on the island.
