- Please join us for the second of our 'Historical Walkthrough' videos. This time we venture deep into the Great Dividing Range of New South Wales and visit a tiny Pioneer Bush Cemetery which served a gold and silver mining community. The town was wiped out in the bushfires of 1939 and was never rebuilt. It is a poignant reminder of the harsh conditions faced by our hardy pioneers in the late 19th Century.
Thank you for watching and subscribing. Warren and Colleen.

I love finding old cemetery and historic places. The history when you can find out about them is fascinating, thank you for making this video.
Australia is a very beautiful country and very interesting people . And love listening to the people of this great country . God bless you stay healthy and safe .
The children's graves are a stark and poignant reminder of how tough life was back then.
I am so enjoying Australia because of you and yours. Greetings from hot and humid Florida.
I've been busting my bum to get home to see this video warren.ive had a long weekend with very poor internet so getting home today to watch it was great.old cemetery's while are sad but so interesting at the same time.i found one at rushworth Victoria by accident. Just a few hundred metres from rushworth itself. I walked in to it from the rear and just had a weird feeling about it then stumbled on a .1few couple of grave. No head stones just remains of wooden crosses. The last burial was in 1920.
I always enjoy watching you videos, I been a fan for more than 5 years! I love the history, and your finds. Thank you for always making videos, it always nice to watch someone else enjoying the same hobby as you.
Up here, plantation town cemeteries exist, usually connected to a church, but existing alongside regular Civil society. Chinese, Japanese and Filipino markers are distinct. The 1918 epidemic is observable in them. Many newborn graves are seen. Desecrating cemeteries was a juvenile delinquent pastime since the 1950s. As a kid in the '80s, our family often stopped in California cemetaries.
We have one in castlereagh that has some of the first fleet with the name of the boats they came over on

Good job from Ed in New Jersey USA
Beautifully made. I found this very touching to watch. Silent voices at rest in such a gorgeous place. 💖🇦🇺
Much respect for your remembering these forgotten cemeteries. I always think about the life stories of the people when I find one 👍
Absolutely love this. Your videos are great inspiration for me to explore historic locations. Cheers
Gday Warren, I must say I am enjoying this new concept of videos.The NQ patch you wear on your shirt,do you sell them?I would like to get a hold of one.
What a beautiful and peaceful cemetery, in Dubbo Gully NSW is an old cemetery which we visited, plus what remained of the old post office. Another lovely place that we camped in. Thank you for sharing your visit with us Warren, I really enjoyed watching. Take care my friends Mary-Ellen UK
Thanks for sharing this video with us all. Showing respect to sites like these people who have been laid to rest is always an experience a person won't forget.
Nice mate. Just found your chanel. I subbed supporting aussie chanels :)
Wow thank you for the look back in time, so much respect for those gone before us.
I visit as many historical cemeteries here in New Zealand. Have you been to any cemeteries in Ararat, Vic? I have a gold mining ancestor MichaelMitchell Franks who passed away in 1877 in Ararat, I'd love to see more video footage.
Good video thank you
Life was very hard in the early days. R.I.P. to all who are buried in that commentary.
Indonesia treasure hunter🙋🙋🙋

Spent a lot of time out there when i was young fella great place the old gold mines out he back of there are awesome Great video.Cheers
The Chigg sent me here. Glad he did, Warren you are great! Beautiful area!!!
Excellent video. Thank you for taking us there and sharing some sad but poignant pioneering history with us.
Great video!
I also do not detect in a cemetery but I will look outside the boundary, on the approaches to the cemetery.
Really enjoy your videos Warren. Love your perspective about relic hunting, its not the find but how the find got there. I wonder if these graves are part of a national grave register for people to trace ancestors? Thanks for sharing.
Looking forward to more
Thanks for the video. We’re many of these pioneers and settlers cremated or buried whole?
Thanks for the comment Don. All these graves were traditional burials. Cremations weren’t generally carried out in 19th Century Australia. Cheers mate! Warren.
@@NQExplorers thanks for the explanation!
In the States cremations were not seen as normal until the 1960s & '70s. Religious denominations often ruled on this for their memberships. My Catholic Grandparents seem to have only decided on it in the 1970s. I helped leave their remains near Bodie, a California ghost town that I visited with them in 1977, in an area important as a vacation/fishing area since the 1950s.
Wherever we travel I always have a look through the cemeteries. There are some very sad stories, whole families of children wiped out by diseases that we can now vacinate aginst, often diptheria or measles, men lost in mining accidents or mustering, accidental shootings and the Mothers who died with their baby at birth or soon after from puerpal fever, no penicillen then. And then you find old people who died in their 90's and some over 100 - they must have been a tough lot.
Excellent video ! Warren was this land on somebody ranch , because I notice in the distance where your vehicle was park the ground look well maintain !
Do you have a new vehicle?......always enjoy your videos ...thanks
This must have been taken before the fires??
What was the name of the town?
I cant find many vids on Gold finds in Qld preety dissapointing.
