Cache is a small container near cattle grid. The actual cemetery is few hundred metres further down the dirt road. When I was there, there was a sign saying no further access log trucks only. So cache will have to be here.
This cemetery was the burial place for many of the original settlers of the Black Springs District. The Black Springs area was notable for the large number of Irish Roman Catholics who moved to this remote place for social and civil reasons. The land for this cemetery was provided by local farmer Michael Hanrahan and was in use between 1858 and 1911 following which burials were shifted to the present day Black Springs township cemetery. Historically significant individuals buried here include:
Mary Hogan, often regarded as the matriarch of the original Black Springs community Mary Hogan nee McMahon born 1777 Innis Ireland, died 7/9/1859 aged 82
