Warrina Cemetery
WARRINA
(53J 0581784E 6880359N)
Because the cemetery is behind the Peake Station fence it is reasonably protected from visitor traffic. Grazing cattle, rabbits, termites and wind erosion are damaging the area. Several graves need urgent repairs to save them.
Randall Crozier and his team from Anna Creek Station have recently fenced the cemetery area which will make any preservation work a lot easier and more effective. (Added 3 12 08)
