Duaringa is a truckstop on the main highway between Rockhampton and Blackwater. The main cemetery is right beside the highway in the center of the township, on the right when entering from Rockhampton. It is very well kept, with daily watering and regular mowing; truly an example.

Duaringa is on the western side of the river and so during floods is commonly cut off from Rockhampton for days. It lies on the Capricorn Highway (so called because it largely follows the line of the Tropic of Capricorn) which extends west and over the Great Divide to provide connections to the inland.

In spite of only being a service center for the surrounding stations, it does have some interesting entries. In addition to the main cemetery, a second collection of gravestones may be found at the old hall. Turn right at the two service stations and drive for about 200 meters.

Duaringa Shire Council has made available the official listings, which is very much appreciated. We have now gone to a live database called MOP ('Myra's Other Place') and headstones pictures are available there. Note that the MOP database has more that just cemeteries and includes shipping and passengers.

Shire records show this as Coudon but we suspect this is a typo as the applicant was a M. Coudon, and farther down the list  is a Hannorah Condon whose applicant is M. Condon. We tentatively presume Hannorah is John's mother, and M. Condon his wife. Updates please!

            'loving mother'. 
These two girls are listed in the Shire records under the name Thomson but we have chosen to retain that which is on the headstones.  Additional confusion arises from a similar Thomson record of a stillborn child later the same year, and a Thomasson in 1907 (see below). More details, someone, please!
