Agriculture was the primary industry, the first settlers were drawn by the availability of prime farmland.</p> <p>The city developed steadily until 1851, when gold was discovered near Clunes; their triggered a gold rush, and a more dramatic expansion after that.</p> <p>The local authorities faced enormous challenges delivering services to this swelling population. One initially neglected area was mental health; people suffering from neurological conditions were originally incarcerated in the city jail.</p> <p>But while this was only a stopgap solution.

A new mental hospital at Kew had been proposed as far back as 1856, but plans for its construction had stalled in Parliament.</p> <p>They were now revived, and the Kew Asylum opened in 1871. Around this time, new institutions were also opened at Royal Park and, in rural Victoria, Ararat and Beechworth. All were significantly smaller than Yarra Bend, and so served to ease the strain on the main institution, rather than replace it outright.</p> <p>Another public commission across 1884 – 1886, The Zox Commission, formally recommended the closure of Yarra Bend. The land it sat on had, by this time, become very valuable, and the same report recommended its sale to private interests.</p> <p>Successive State Government’s used this report as justification to reduce or withhold funding from the facility, with the result that its already antiquated buildings fell further into disrepair. Perversely, the same authorities still balked at closing the hospital altogether.</p> <figure id="attachment_3713" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3713" style="width: 550px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-attachment-id="3713" data-permalink="https://www.museumoflost.com/the-lost-cemetery/mont-park-chronic-wards/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.museumoflost.com/wp-content/uploads/MONT-PARK-CHRONIC-WARDS-e1621935015866.jpg?fit=550%2C303&ssl=1" data-orig-size="550,303" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"Peter Pidgeon 2016 (peter@pidgeo","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="Part of the Mont Park facility" data-image-description="<p>Part of the Mont Park facility</p> " data-image-caption="<p>Part of the Mont Park facility</p> " data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.museumoflost.com/wp-content/uploads/MONT-PARK-CHRONIC-WARDS-e1621935015866.jpg?fit=550%2C303&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.museumoflost.com/wp-content/uploads/MONT-PARK-CHRONIC-WARDS-e1621935015866.jpg?fit=550%2C303&ssl=1" class="size-full wp-image-3713" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.museumoflost.com/wp-content/uploads/MONT-PARK-CHRONIC-WARDS-e1621935015866.jpg?resize=550%2C303&ssl=1" alt="Part of the Mont Park facility" width="550" height="303" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-3713" class="wp-caption-text">Part of the Mont Park facility</figcaption></figure> <p>In the first decade of the twentieth century, the Victorian Government finally set about funding a proper replacement. Mont Park Psychiatric Hospital was built on 185 acres near present day Bundoora, and accepted its first patients in 1910.</p> <p>Although this was meant to supplant Yarra Bend, the older facility would continue to operate for another 15 years. Additional funds were required to close the hospital – transfer of patients, demolition of buildings – and these were only made available reluctantly.</p> <p>It was not until 1924 that Yarra Bend stopped accepting new patients, and the asylum was finally closed the following year. The remaining patients were transferred to Mont Park.</p> <p>Inspector General for the Insane, Dr Ernest Jones, provided a grim epitaph for the place he helped to close down:</p> <blockquote> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>‘The airing courts were very small and damnable, with high bluestone walls preventing all view of the surrounding countryside. There was also a row of outside cells, with earth closets, two dark padded cells, and an all pervading smell of poor, mad, humanity.’</strong></p> <p style="text-align: left;"> <p style="text-align: left;"><em>– Dr Ernest Jones</em></p> </blockquote> <p>Some efforts were also made to relocate the cemetery.</p> <p>Where next of kin were identifiable, and had the means, they were offered the option of having the body moved to a cemetery of their choosing. Where this was not an option, most cases, bodies were exhumed and buried in common graves at Melbourne General Cemetery.</p> <figure id="attachment_2982" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2982" style="width: 400px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-attachment-id="2982" data-permalink="https://www.museumoflost.com/the-lost-cemetery/yarrabend1/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.museumoflost.com/wp-content/uploads/yarrabend1.jpg?fit=400%2C292&ssl=1" data-orig-size="400,292" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="Yarra Bend Cemetery" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="<p>Approximate location of Yarra Bend Cemetery</p> " data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.museumoflost.com/wp-content/uploads/yarrabend1.jpg?fit=400%2C292&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.museumoflost.com/wp-content/uploads/yarrabend1.jpg?fit=400%2C292&ssl=1" class="size-full wp-image-2982" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.museumoflost.com/wp-content/uploads/yarrabend1.jpg?resize=400%2C292&ssl=1" alt="Graphic showing approximate location of Yarra Bend Cemetery" width="400" height="292" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-2982" class="wp-caption-text">Approximate location of Yarra Bend Cemetery</figcaption></figure> <p>It is not known how many bodies were moved and, as accurate records had not been kept, how many therefore remained.</p> <p>Even the precise location of the cemetery has been lost to history (the images in this article provide an approximation only, based on historical data).
