A small graveyard containing 2 headstones, one with wire netting fence. There is also an unmarked grave surrounded by a dilapidated paling fence.
History:
The marked graves belong to Donald Cameron, a shepherd who died in 1864, and Ethel Colley a 20 month old child who drowned in Bunnerungie Creek. The graveyard contains the oldest known memorial in the Anabranch and one of the few reminders of the shepherds who tended the large sheep flocks prior to fencing.
