Rookwood General Cemetery is committed to making HIDDEN Rookwood Sculptures more accessible to our wide audiences.
Accessible toilet: in the public toilet block at the beginning of the sculpture walk, next to Rookwood General Cemetery Office, 1 Hawthorn Ave.
Water: on the HIDDEN walk there will be several marked water bottle refill taps.
Rest areas: on the HIDDEN walk there will be rest areas where you can sit down and have a rest.
Service animals: All service animals are welcome at Rookwood Cemetery.
Maps: We will have large (A3) print versions of the HIDDEN Map and Visitor's Guide available at the HIDDEN HUB and from the Rookwood General Cemetery office.
Parking: you can park on site at the beginning of the walk, in the public parking area opposite All Souls Chapel, 1 Hawthorne Ave. Also along Hawthorne Ave and Necropolis Drive.
Customised Tours:
- HIDDEN 2023 will have an audio tour that you can access using your personal mobile device via QR codes next to the artwork. The audio recordings and transcriptions can also be accessed via the HIDDEN website.
- Our public programs will feature a d/Deaf Led Tour with Auslan interpretation.
Some of the artworks near the office will be wheelchair accessible, but please be aware that the HIDDEN exhibition path traverses some old heritage sections of the cemetery, so the walking paths are often uneven and rough in places, unsuitable for wheelchairs and walking frames.
We acknowledge that the cemetery is a difficult site for many of our visitors, with our uneven grounds and the distance of the walk. Over the coming years we will be putting in place further measures to improve the ways in which our visitors can experience HIDDEN and the cemetery itself.
