The tombstone above the grave of Thomas and his wife Julia stands about 9 feet high and remains one of the most imposing in the Bungendore Cemetery. It is a fitting memorial to a couple that progressed through adversity to find themselves - with their offspring - being the pioneers of an idyllic little patch in the midst of the harsh and unforgiving Australian bush.
