This is the final resting place for many German internees housed at Berrima Gaol during Works War I. You can see something of their fascinating lives mapped out on the German River Walk along the Wingecarribee River from the western end of Oxley Street from Berrima Picnic and camping ground. Also at Berrima Cemetery is the final resting place of naturalist Dr Charles James Meller, a veteran of the famous Dr David Livingstone’s expeditions on the Zambesi in Africa from 1869 to 1863. In 1868, Meller returned to Australia and settled in Berrima. However, afflicted with recurrent fevers from his African adventures, he died aged 33. The inscription on his grave gives no hint of his extraordinary career.
