Take a 20 minute walk south of Cuppacumbalong Homestead to a high point overlooking the junction of the rivers and discover this historic cemetery, one of only a few remaining intact, 19th century graveyards on isolated pastoral holdings. It is closely associated with Count Leopold Fane de Salis and his family who lived at Cuppacumbalong from 1856 to 1894. Up to 1905, at least 16 people associated with the de Salis family including the count, his wife, their second son and station staff were buried here.
