I have a few ancestors who lived up there (mining area) and some of the children died and were buried in the cemetery. I found it after quite a bit of searching - up the top of a mountain and in the bush, several metres in from the road and not sign-posted as far as I recall - climbing over blackberries and rocks and tombs covered in long grass and dodging the invisible snakes. I didn't find what I was looking for but I was not surprised. There are a few tombs and headstones there but not many. It has not been used or cared for since goodness knows when. I'm afred I don't know if there is a list of burials but there may be at the Kyneton or Malmsbury libraries. I'd give Carol a hoy.
