Cemeteries

General information

The information about the Cemeteries in Araluen has been gathered from a number of places. A key source of information has been the digital copies of Newspapers and Gazettes compiled and held by TROVE, at the National Library of Australia (https://trove.nla.gov.au/about). Via the table of graves, we have provided a table which contains a copy  of the newspaper entry accessed through TROVE for each death or burial notice when an entry existed.
