Statement of Significance
The Bushy Creek Cemetery is a typical small, square burial area associated with a homestead. The burials are primarily those of the Beggs family, who have had a long association with Bushy Creek. Many of the graves have stone or granite headstones, surrounded by wrought iron fencing. A number of memorial plantings are included within the cemetery, which are overgrown and in poor condition. Bushy Creek has had a long association with the Beggs family, who retained the property within the family for over 130 years prior to its recent sale outside the family. The cemetery is in overgrown and poor condition, but retains a very high degree of integrity.
