Emu Creek Cemetery
Crows Nest Shire, Queensland, Australia

Contributed by Janice Nightingale, Jan 06, 2002, last edited Aug 25, 2011 [nightingalejanice@hotmail.com]. Total records = 52.

The cemetery is situated on the New England Highway between Crows Nest and Yarraman, from Crows Nest about 50k out of town, on the right. If you pass the Emu Creek Road you've gone too far!

The Emu Creek district was originally part of the Emu Creek Run held by the Archer brothers. As the leases expired the land was gradually offerred for closer settlement. Many former Emu Creek station hands selected land in the area in the 1890s. Their names are prominent in this index.I assume this cemetery is administerd by the Crows Nest Shire as you travel some distance further before you encounter a sign welcoming you to Rosalie Shire- but I could be wrong.

Future growth obviously far from exceeded expectation. The cemetery grounds are large with a group of graves in the centre, a group at the front right corner and another group right in the left back corner. Although the grass directly surrounding the graves was mowed the rest was not, the last time I was there.

This index encompasses all marked and decipherable graves as of Dec 2001.
