    Not real sure who or how many are buried there.

    All the headstone's except for one was made from wood,they all got burnt along with the records in a bush fire, i think it was the 1939 one's.

    The only headstone left is the one in the pic,the name is Christine Shaw aged 86,died in the late 1800's.
    After the last fire's went through there,the DSE and vic 4wd club went up and marked what they belived were graves.Some im not sure about but with no records it's hard to say.

    In the link that Ferret put up it make's mention of a road being dozed in,that did happen how it happened is the dozer driver and his spotter got a bit of course when they were put in the new end of Donnelly's crk trk.
    It was'nt till they were through the middle of the cemerty that the spotter said to the dozer driver that he could'nt find any markers,it was then they saw the grave and realised where they were and did a hard right back to where they are supposed to be.

    So there may be(most likely) graves under the road.

    Im gunna try to find more info on it,and let you all know what i find out.
