Juandah Historic Grave Site
A very short walk outside the property is a memorial and early grave site.
The earliest grave dates back to 1850.
It is believed that there are five graves.
Thomas Mark Windeyer was the first settler in the district in 1847, and he died of an accidental gunshot wound and died 1850.
Also buried there are Constable William Dwyer, died 1883, killed by an Aboriginal 'Wild Toby'; a baby Dulcie Baker;
a German shepherd; and one unknown grave.

In 1838, Englishman Captain William Henry Bacchus and his son William Henry Bacchus junior brought sheep from Tasmania and came to the district which now bears their name.
The town bearing his name is also named after the natural marshland of the area which was subsequently drained by the early settlers.
His grave has a sandstone headstone, enclosed by wrought iron fencing, with a marble tablet superimposed, erected in 1936 by L. Dugdale

I took the photo to log this cache many years ago and am finally getting around to using it.
It is the lone grave of George Maddis, a carrier from Narrabri, who was accidentally killed by a wagon passing over him on November 28th 1882.
He was aged 35.
The lone grave can be found between Narrabri and Wee Waa at
S30 11.683. E149 32.743.

A truly wonderful surprise to see the lasting memorial here for Jo.
Amazing stories of a wonderful community looking out for him as he was a recluse in the old pioneering days.

We came across this lonely and neglected gravesight near Birdwood in the Adelaide Hills. It is the gravesight for the early SA pioneering family The Hannaford's. They made a prominent contribution to local affairs and to the horticultural industry around Gumeracha and Cudlee Creek. George Williams Hannaford was one of the pioneer apple growers of the colony and also planted a vineyard, grew wheat and grazed cattle. He is reputed to have built the first wheat stack in South Australia.
Thanks Bundyrumandcoke for organising the locationless cache.

Out and about caching in Maryborough and came to this little isolated spot. Of course there is a cache here as well.

Bidwill was born 5 February 1815 at St. Thomas, Exeter, England. The eldest son of Joseph Green Bidwill, a merchant of Exeter and Charlotte Bidwill. He was educated for a commercial life but developed an interest in science and botany in particular.
The Commissioner for Crown Lands, John Carne Bidwill arrived in December 1848, and established a camp on the southern side of the river on the banks of Tinana Creek. One of Bidwill's tasks was to find a coastal overland route from Maryborough to Brisbane as an alternative to the then route through Gayndah; he died in 1853 without accomplishing this task.
In 1851, while marking out a new road to the Moreton Bay district, Bidwill became separated from his colleagues and was lost without food for eight days. He eventually succeeded in cutting a way through the scrub with a pocket hook, but never properly recovered from starvation, and died on 16 March 1853 at Tinana at 38 years of age. His grave at Cran Street, Tinana, has been listed on the Queensland Heritage Register

Well this one is certainly remote even tho it is not far from civilisation. Maryborough Qld to the east in a straight line about 60klm but 150klm by road. The area is surrounded by three state forests but there is a very large tract of land adjacent to the grave site that is private land surrounded on four sides by forest with only two public/forestry roads the barrier.

At the intersection just north of here stood a pub which was a resting place for teamsters and weary travellers in the late 1800s. It is recorded in the Maryborough Colonist of 1914 that in 1872 the Coach house Hotel on Broom Creek was owned by John Cain. This town of Broomfield presumably took its name from Broom Creek just to the east.

This cache marks the grave of a lonely teamster who one morning was found crushed to death under his wagon. History does not record the exact accident- maybe it sank in wet soil or maybe if simply broke and collapsed. At the peak up to 200 wagons a day passed along what is now the Golden Fleece and Old Gayndah Roads from Maryborough to Gayndah. The Bicentennial National Trail which follows this original Gayndah Rd from Biggenden through Golden Fleece and Broomfield to Musket Flat is right alongside. All that remains here now is this lonely grave, with all evidence of the town returned to nature.

The road from Biggenden is bitumen till you turn onto Golden Fleece road then you have 35klm approximately of very rough dirt and gravel with washouts.

Hi Bundyrumandcoke
Went for a walk in the Far South East of Tasmania today looking for the cache GC2N1T1 - "The End of the Line" by Rehikemike.
Had a great walk and found these lonely graves at Ida Bay, South East, Tasmania.
All three graves belong to members of the Tyler family. The family worked in the area as loggers way back when the population of Ida Bay and the surrounding area was much, much higher than it is today. Mining was another thriving industry way back when.
The walk had everything: great scenery, wild life and a lot of exercise. Took a lot of great photos.
Even found a cache, but missed out on a train ride as the Ida Bay Railway; the southern most working train in Australia, was closed today.
Again, thanks for your encouragement to look for some great photographic opportunities.
TFTC and cheers

I could not tell who this grave belonged to, although it is in a field just behind a memorial to the explorer John Oxley, located in Kirkham lane, Camden.(1783-1829).
Lt John Oxley was Pioneer, Explorer and Surveyor, and this was the site of his Original land grant of 1812.

maybe the stone can be read with binoculars,but mine were at home.

A lonely grave beside Jervis Bay in Huskisson.

The following article was transcribed from The Brisbane Courier, 23rd April 1892:

“The flagship Orlando on Tuesday returned to her moorings in Farm Cove, Sydney. She has been away several days at Jervis Bay for target practice and while there a fatal accident occurred. On Friday, between 3 and 4 p.m., while one of the ship’s boats was proceeding from the shore to the ship, a heavy sea swamped her. All the occupants, with one exception, were picked up. An ordinary seaman, C. Johnson [sic], a native of Yorkshire, sank, and was not seen to rise again. An attempt was made, with grappling irons to find the body, but without success.”

Single Grave Near Railway Tracks

This is the famous struck-by-lightning 'On This Spot' geocache grave, all by itself, with no cemetery or other graves nearby. In fact, the poor man is actually buried under the railway tracks (visible in the top left). When they re-located the line, they simply moved his gravestone a bit but left his body in place.

I think this site really merits the 'lonely' tag . . .

This solitary and seemingly neglected grave is on a small rise about 50m from the fence line at Doctors Rocks near Wynyard. The lush spring growth has just about engulfed the fence around the grave and the lawn mowers (aka sheep) are having trouble keeping up with the growth. The grave is normally more visible during summer (when the grass has been cut for hay), autumn and winter. We don’t know who is buried in the grave and there isn’t a closeby residence to seek permission for access or information. A stitched photo has been added to the Gallery: the portrait image shows our GPS and the grave towards the top of the picture whilst the landscape image is a closer view of the grave.

Would like to know about the recent grave added outside the fence. This one is in NZ.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 91 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, finally heading south out of Darwin with the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) after an 11 week stay.

After checking in to the caravan park in Katherine there was a bit of time to get some caches, so I hunted down GC2V1BM Emungalan Graves by territoryenrights. The cache is located at this small cemetery containing four graves.



The graves are described on another sign nearby. There are some discepanbcies between the plaque in the photo and the sign, which describes the graves as follows:

Michael Kennedy was about 40 years old when he died on 4 April 1919 as a result of falling off his horse while drunk.

Miss Madge Thor or Thorn ran a guest house in the area, and fell quite ill. She decided to take the train to Darwin to seek medical attention but died on 25 May 1922 before the train arrived. She was about 45 years old at the time of her death.

Gerald (Jerry or Gerry) Buckley was about 45 years of age when he died of natural causes on 26 November 1924.

A Chinese child two weeks old died of unknown causes, it is thought that the baby's parents owned a store in Emungalan.

This little area and lonely grave predates the Cooyar cemetry that was proclaimed in 1909. This now quaint and well maintained area is near the famous Cooyar swinging Bridge and near the junction of Cooyar and Back Creeks. The area is well maintained.

Ethel Tebb's was only 5 years of age when she drowned in the nearby creek. Ethel left this life on the 29th of December 1904. This site has been accurately measured and located as her final resting place by well research conducted by loving individuals and confirmed as the final original resting site by the Department of Natural resources.

There is a well signed memorial board with all the relevant factual information at the grave site. May she rest in eternal peace.

The grave is that of a Noongar man who was shot in the leg with a shotgun by a wadjela farmer for crossing a paddock. In those days it was used as a legal defence for a white man to shoot a Noongar and claim he thought it was a kangaroo. The man's leg got infected and he knew he was goling to die so he told his mob to bury him beneath a shady tree next to the wagter so he can always have a drink and lay in the shade.

About 15 years ago I volunteered to help with work to restore Westerman's homestead in the south of the ACT. Near the homestead is a double grave, miles from the nearest township or communications. Buried there are Elizabeth Mary Shiels who died in her 40s in 1922 and her brother Baby Westerman, who must have died (in 1886) without being named, so he must have died very young or stillborn. I always find that part particularly sad. I don't know whether the baby was born at the remote site or in hospital in Queanbeyan, but I reflect every time we go past, on how lucky we are today.

Joshua Morgan, a pioneer surveyor in New Zealand became seriously ill with suspected peritonitis. He died 03 March 1893 near the junction of Paparata Stream and Tangarakau River in the Tangarakau Gorge and was buried at this spot. 60yrs later his widow's request she be buried with him in this remote area on what is now known as the Forgotten World Highway running between Stratford and Taumarunui was acceded to. This 155km stretch of road takes about 4hrs to drive, but is beautiful.

These lonely convict graves are located on a riverflat, near the junction of Towrang Creek with the Wollondilly River north of Goulburn.

Towrang was the site of a major stockade for the chain-gang of convicts and others involved in the construction of Surveyor General Sir T L Mitchell's Great South Road from 1836 to 1842. The stockade became the principal penal establishment in the southern district. In 1838 it housed "seventy men in irons working on the road and twenty one not in irons", but there were usually 250 convicts for most of its history. They slept on bare boards with a blanket apiece, 10 men to a box or cell. One of the two official floggers was later found murdered.

The Towrang Stockade Graves are an important part of the Convict Stockade Site. There are three headstones remaining which have been enclosed by a fence. The monuments are constructed of a fine grained clay-rich sandstone similar to 'Marulan Stone' but possibly from Stonequarry Creek at Picton.

The grave of Will Graham lies beside Mayfield Rd Mayfield near Nowra. William Graham of the Parish Torqueer Scotland, was a convict sent to “Botany Bay” after being convicted of “Grave Felony” horse theft, in 1814. His family including sons Will and James were granted free passage as “currency Kids” to Sydney Cove to be reunited with him.

Will and James were granted land in the Shoalhaven where they commenced farming. They called the property Mayfield after a place near Maxwelltown in Scotland. Will Graham set up his farm at Worrigee and drained the swamps by digging canals to improve the pasture. He died on 26 Sept 1849 & is buried alongside five of his daughters who died in 1842. The Graham family were successful in their endeavors in the Shoalhaven and their success impacted on the growth of the area.

Only the one grave remains & is cared for by his descendants.

There is no record of who or how this person died. One version is that it is the grave of a young Aboriginal woman who was walking in from a near by station to Hughenden when she either perished by foul means or died of exposure.
