Grave of Ben Hall, Heritage grave in Forbes Cemetery, Australia
The white picket fence surrounds a Gothic Revival headstone with inscribed details of Ben Hall's death on May 5th, 1865.
Following his death in a police confrontation, Ben Hall's burial ceremony gathered 50 people, including family members and local residents on May 7th, 1865.
The burial site represents a significant period in Australian history when bushrangers operated throughout New South Wales during the gold rush era.
The grave marker, placed in 1957, displays the inscription 'In Memory of Ben Hall Shot 5th May 1865 Aged 27 Years' at Forbes Cemetery.
The grave remained unmarked until the 20th century, when the local historical society established the current memorial structure with its distinctive fence.
