Waanyarra Historic Cemetery

Morton Family Plot " Pioneer Family Waanyarra" 

We called into Waanyarra Historic Cemetery c1850 Central Victoria while in the area on the weekend. The information sign, etched onto stainless steel tells the story of early burials in the cemetery where the bodies of the deceased were laid to rest encased between two pieces of bark.  It was nice to see the restoration work being done to preserve this Historic Cemetery.
