NEWMAN GRAVE SITES - Physical Description 1
A beautiful site overlooking the Yarra Valley to the North and the Creek Valley to the East. There is a large pine shading an old dam.
Victoria has a large number of lone grave burials. Most are now unmarked, like this one. Those that are identifiable are "extremely significant". Examples are : James "Tally Ho" Taylor of Major Mitchell's party (1836) on the Broken River at Benalla; of Alexander Miller (1862) at Murrindindi, Yea; of Agnes Kistock (1847) Havey Park, Strathbogie; and of Eliza Archer (1847), Crooke Street, Lucknow at Bairnsdale. [6]
No threats known. The site should be sufficiently disinterred to determine whether it still holds the remains. If so, it should be identified and interpreted and protected from rabbits and stock.
