Cemetery a link to city’s Jewish heritage

From the Maitland Mercury report:
The marked and unmarked graves of those buried at the Maitland Jewish Cemetery will be the focus of a new conservation project.
At the end of a narrow track in the middle of Louth Park, the cemetery has been neglected.
But Maitland City Council, along with the Friends of Maitland Jewish Cemetery, has begun plans to conserve the culturally significant burial site, which will include looking at its state heritage potential.
