Welcome!!
Waratah Pioneer Cemetery is situated 4kms from the township.
Signposted on the left side of the road 3 kms from the turnoff at the Ridgley Hwy
There are only 91 people mentioned on the headstones today as many headstones have been removed due to damage over the years.
Location of the removed/damaged headstones remain a mystery and any infomation would be greatly appreciated
There is no known plan of the cemetery but one is being prepared on the exsisting headstones.
This is a very time consuming project and Friends will be advised when it is completed.
