Good afternoon; Another old Victorian cemetery that would appear not to have been used. DARLEY CEMETERY * Darley is located just out of Bacchus Marsh, Victoria. * A cemetery of 5 acres, 3 roods, 8 perches at Darley was gazetted in 1858. * It is believed the cemetery was never used. * An old map identified that cemetery to be located on the corner of Grey Street and Nelson Street, Darley. * On 16 April, 1934 the old cemetery was inspected by the Department of Lands and survey with a recommendation that the land could be used for any purpose. * In the Government Gazette (Victoria) on 22 August, 1934 there was a revocation order in regards to the cemetery reservation. If anyone has any further information on this cemetery, I would appreciate hearing from them. Even though it is stated officially there were no burials in the cemetery, I was wondering if there were any burials in the cemetery? With a number of old cemeteries, once the cemetery land was identified, burials did tend to be undertaken in them. There is a very small cemetery file (3pages) on this cemetery.
