The Memorial grave of Peter Brock AM at Arthur's Creek Cemetery. Peter brock was cremated and his ashes were divided among his family. Peters mother & father are buried here.
As a Ford / Moffat fan I always hated Peter Brock, especially in October 😥😥😥but what a fantastic driver and craftsman of the sport. My views of him changed quickly when watching how relaxed he was from an in car commentary during the Bathurst 1000, while still managing to better his lap time. Thanks for the wonderful entertainment Brocky 👍👍👍
I remember him 👍 I use to be big in racing, mostly nascar and old poor boy local dirt track racing here in the states but I remember him. loved the sport back in the day. May he Rest In Peace. Yes that’s a very beautiful place 👍
You always remember where you were when something like that happens. I was living in Canberra at the time, but in Sydney on a 3 day conference. It was a real shock, as I was real Brocky fan. I remember that I bought a Monaro 350 in 1970 and then a Torana GTR XU1 in '73, both identical to cars he won with at Bathurst.
I'll never forget the day I found out. I had just been in Burma with a mate and away from any news for 2 weeks. Arriving in Bangkok I was chatting with another Aussie and remember asking whether Bush had been removed yet. He said no but Brocky and Steve Irwin had both died (Irwin was 9 Sep 2006). Big shock, especially as I had gotten to know Brocky a bit having been a motorsports photographer at that time. He was always a real gentleman and showed great interest in our work behind the camera. Cheers and thanks from Sydney - Dave
I remember that day back in 2006 just like it was Yesterday.. It was an overcast drizzly friday here in WA, and I had just finished up at work and as I was coming home, the woman next door told me the awful news. It was kind of like fait accompli because I broke it to her that Steve Irwin had died and she was similarly shaken up.
You have said it all rest in Peace PETER BROCH a moving and pleasant story thankyou Bathurst was home Town watched at least half of his races it was a thrill to get his autograph twice over the years at the Mt and one at the Ball where he did a great speech a great moment for me was late 70s at Oran Park where the Pit Crews worked on the Cars out on the grass his car was next to AM big Falcon and his crew managed to get a autograph from Brocky that day casually talking to a sponsor dressed in his MHDT casual out fit no effort to stop his meeting and sign a note book I had it was a big thing to be able to stroll the pits another great moment was meeting up with Garry Rodgers Many Thanks for Brocky Story ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

A lovely tribute. And a beautiful resting place.
Thank you for video of Peter's grave and his racing history.
Rest in Peace Brocky. A true Aussie Legend.

I could be wrong but I have a feeling that Peter is not actually buried here, it is just a memorial. I seem to remember that he was cremated.
Thank you sir
Such a beautiful location, i often go there to see a mate, then a walk at Yan Yean. Magic country.😅
Nice! He’s definitely on my list!
Legends never Die.
Don’t forget the Around Australia Repco trials.
