Booragul Cemetery

This page is the starting point for information regarding the Booragul Cemetery or the Booragul Pioneers Cemetery. The cemetery is reached by crossing the footbridge at Booragul Railway Station and following the track up the hill through the bush. After reaching the top of the hill continue straight ahead and look to the left. The cemetery can be difficult to locate. It is not far after reaching the top of the hill. If you are able, and are willing, to give information, photos, etc, to assist in the building of this developing resource tool, please contact me.
