Donna Buang Bush Burial area: tranquil natural bush for burial of ashes with a commemorative plaque, if desired. There is also space for a plaque on the entry fence, should you wish. We invite you to visit, stroll along the winding pathways and view the indigenous plantings that have been done to enhance the existing natural vegetation.

There are unmarked graves all over Australia, including at Wesburn. We have records of some grave locations, even if they are not marked.

Ian Moffat is on the hunt for the final resting places of potentially hundreds of thousands of Australians buried in unmarked graves, but he has no intention of disturbing the dead.
