McIntyre Burial Ground

McIntyre Burial Ground

Included in the 1862 "Village of McIntyre" survey plan was an old burial ground with five grave sites being identified.

The site has not been gazetted as a cemetery and probably dates from the mid 1850's as an unofficial burial ground. The burial ground comprising of .2023 hectares (1/2 an acre) is on reserve crown land.

Six known burials between 1861 and 1886 are associated with the Heraud, Queripel and O'Brien Families. Descendants from these families still reside in the McIntyre area today. The burial site is considered to have historical and archaeological values at a local level as an early ungazetted burial site.

The burial ground contributes to the historical record of the McIntyre community and illustrates the use of unofficial burial grounds prior to the wide spread introduction of formal gazetted cemeteries from the late 1860's.

In 1885 the then Korong Shire Council erected a wooden post and rail fence around the burial ground. Evidence of this fence still remains.
