Grave of Yuranigh, Aboriginal burial site near Molong, Australia
The Grave of Yuranigh features four carved trees surrounding a central burial area with both a marble and sandstone headstone in New South Wales.
In 1850, Yuranigh, a Wiradjuri man who guided explorer Thomas Mitchell during his 1845 expedition through Australia, was laid to rest at Gamboola Station.
The burial ground combines Aboriginal carved trees marking ceremony with European headstones, reflecting the interactions between two societies in colonial Australia.
Located 4 kilometers south of Molong and 32 kilometers north of Orange, the site includes interpretive signs explaining the burial customs and historical context.
This burial site remains the sole documented location in Australia where Aboriginal tree carving traditions merge with European memorial practices.
