BURIED IN THIS CEMETERY
1882-1933
The average age
at death of those buried in this cemetery is 20 years. The lack of qualified medical practitioners;
the distance and time to proper health care; the harshness of the climate; the
poor living conditions; and the ease of infection, placed the pioneers of the
Byrock district at great risk of an early and often avoidable death.
This cemetery was restored by the residents of Byrock
in 1996 to honour those who lost their lives in developing this part of western
The Byrock community thanks the Bourke Shire Council
and Bourke Enterprise Development Agency for their financial assistance to this
project.
