Old Man's Valley Cemetery, Heritage-listed cemetery in Hornsby, Australia.
The Old Man's Valley Cemetery contains burial plots and memorials dating from 1879 to 1931, with 25 graves spread across the landscape.
Thomas Higgins, a Second Fleet convict's son who received the land grant in 1824, established this cemetery for his family members and descendants.
The cemetery grounds represent the transition from Aboriginal lands of Dharug and Ku-ring-gai peoples to European settlement patterns in New South Wales.
Visitors can access the cemetery through Quarry Road in Hornsby, where interpretative signs explain the historical context of the burial ground.
The cemetery remained active until quarrying operations for blue metal dolerite began transforming the surrounding valley landscape in the early 1900s.
