From Gympie, take the Tin Can Bay Road, watching for the Neerdie sign on the left. It is about 8km to the left of the road. The settlement is just a small cluster of houses. Proceed onto the gravel for about 10mins, looking for the blue cemetery sign on the left. The sign heralds a bush track which leads to the small cemetery reserve, just a short walk

I became aware of the existence of this cemetery, when I saw the burial notice for "Tal" Killen. There was only one plaque, when I visited in 1999. It was for the Ostwald family, and erected In May 1992, by the descendants of their surviving children, namely, John, Joseph, Albert, Theresa (Enright), Marg (Burns), Ruby (Wilkie) & Rudolph. In 2002 another has been added with more information.
