Description

The Cemetery has local historic significance for its association with the local Central Tilba area early pioneers and for providing records of the families who have settled and developed the area for over a century. Aesthetically the Cemetery has local significance because of its dramatic siting - a seaside headland with the backdrop of Mount Dromedary. One accesses the site by proceeding down Sheringham Lane from the A1 to Haxstead Road and passing through several gates along what is actually a public road. (At one point you have to take the right hand of two adjoining gates.) The Cemetery is on the top of a hill (sometimes has cattle about so leave any gates as you find them) but at the bottom of the hill is a stile which allows you to access a long and beautiful beach. Possible to swim but you are unprotected. At low tide you can also access the next beach south (continuation of Wallaga beach). No camping or overnight parking.
